Western philosophers have traditionally concentrated on theory as the means for expressing knowledge about a variety of phenomena. This absorbing book challenges this fundamental notion by showing how objects themselves, specifically scientific instruments, can express knowledge. As he considers numerous intriguing examples, Davis Baird gives us the tools to "read" the material products of science and technology and to understand their place in culture. Making a provocative and original challenge to our conception of knowledge itself, "Thing Knowledge" demands that we take a new look at theories of science and technology, knowledge, progress, and change. Baird considers a wide range of instruments, including Faraday's first electric motor, eighteenth-century mechanical models of the solar system, the cyclotron, various instruments developed by analytical chemists between 1930 and 1960, spectrometers, and more.
一副好牌被打的稀爛...也許是隔行如隔山,從科學史的角度看這本書實在覺得蜻蜓點水,根本沒有質疑objectivity v. subjectivity,public v. private,materials v. ideas這些思維定式,慶幸現在談materialist epistemology沒有人還會這麼寫。
評分可讀性很強的Materialist epistemology,後麵一半深入談科學認知論karl popper等就有點略過瞭。前半段的三種儀器、三種認知方式:model knowledge/ working knowledge/ encapsulated knowledge 非常有趣
