Book Price $0 : Objectivity Has A History, And It Is Full Of Surprises. In Objectivity, Lorraine Daston And Peter Galison Chart The Emergence Of Objectivity In The Mid-nineteenth-century Sciences ? And Show How The Concept Differs From Alternatives, Truth-to-nature And Trained Judgment. This Is A Story Of Lofty Epistemic Ideals Fused With Workaday Practices In The Making Of Scientific Images.From The Eighteenth Through The Early Twenty-first Centuries, The Images That Reveal The Deepest Commitments Of The Empirical Sciences ? From Anatomy To Crystallography ? Are Those Featured In Scientific Atlases: The Compendia That Teach Practitioners Of A Discipline What Is Worth Looking At And How To Look At It. Atlas Images Define The Working Objects Of The Sciences Of The Eye: Snowflakes, Galaxies, Skeletons, Even Elementary Particles.Galison And Daston Use Atlas Images To Uncover A Hidden History Of Scientific Objectivity And Its Rivals. Whether An Atlas Maker Idealizes An Image To Capture The Essentials In The Name Of Truth-to-nature Or Refuses To Erase Even The Most Incidental Detail In The Name Of Objectivity Or Highlights Patterns In The Name Of Trained Judgment Is A Decision Enforced By An Ethos As Well As By An Epistemology.As Daston And Galison Argue, Atlases Shape The Subjects As Well As The Objects Of Science. To Pursue Objectivity ? Or Truth-to-nature Or Trained Judgment ? Is Simultaneously To Cultivate A Distinctive Scientific Self Wherein Knowing And Knower Converge. Moreover, The Very Point At Which They Visibly Converge Is In The Very Act Of Seeing Not As A Separate Individual But As A Member Of A Particular Scientific Community. Embedded In The Atlas Image, Therefore, Are The Traces Of Consequential Choices About Knowledge, Persona, And Collective Sight. Objectivity Is A Book Addressed To Any One Interested In The Elusive And Crucial Notion Of Objectivity ? And In What It Means To Peer Into The World Scientifically.
