It proved however difficult to address natural science topics with sociologist methods, as proven by the US science wars.[14] The use of a deconstructive approach (as for works on arts or religion) on natural sciences risked to endanger not only the "hard facts" of natural sciences, but as well the objectivity and positivist tradition of sociology itself.[14] The view on scientific knowledge production as a (at least partial) social construct was not easily accepted.[1] Latour and others identified a dichotomy crucial for modernity, the division between nature (things, objects) as being transcendent, allowing to detect them, and society (the subject, the state) as immanent as being artificial, constructed.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3162.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3162.txt
