Objectivity
Book • 2010
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 such as truth-to-nature and trained judgment.
The book uses scientific atlases to uncover a hidden history of scientific objectivity and its rivals, highlighting how different epistemic virtues have shaped scientific practices and the identity of scientists over time.
It is a deeply researched and beautifully illustrated work that combines historical analysis with philosophical insights, making it a significant contribution to the understanding of scientific knowledge and its moral dimensions.
