Производитель: "Zone Books" 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 its 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 what is worth looking at and how to look at it. 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...

Peter Louis Galison is the Pellegrino University Professor in History of Science and
Galison received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in both Physics and the History of Science in 1983. His publications include "Image and Logic: A Material Culture of Microphysics" (1997) and "Einstein's Clocks, Poincare's Maps: Empires of Time". His most recent book (2007), co-authored with
In "Image and Logic", Galison explored the fundamental rift rising in the physical sciences: whether singular, visual accounts of scientific phenomenon would be accepted as the dominant language of proof, or whether statistically significant, frequently repeated results would dominate the field. This division, Galison claims, can be seen in the conflicts amongst high-energy physicists investigating new particles, some of whom offer up statistically significant and frequently replicated analysis of the new particle passing through electric fields, others of whom offer up a single picture of a particle behaving—in a single instance—in a way that cannot be explained by the characteristics of existing known particles.
His work with
Galison has been involved in the production of two documentary films. The first, "The Ultimate Weapon: The H-Bomb Dilemma", was about the political and scientific decisions behind the creation of the first
Before moving to Harvard, Galison taught for several years at Stanford University where he was professor of History, Philosophy, and Physics. He is considered part of the "Stanford School" of philosophy of science along with
