Sociohistorical assumptions


The scientific method seeks to gain knowledge about the world that is believed to be in some sense objectively true. However, the sociohistorical tradition seems to have as a core assumption that knowledge is socially constructed and thus relative from culture to culture. Do these epistemological assumptions even allow for what can be called science?
