Heraclitus Redux: Technological Infrastructures And Scientific Change by Joseph C. Pitt, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Scientific change is often a function of technological innovation - new instruments show us new things we could not see before and we then need new theories to explain them. One of the results of this process is that what counts as scientific evidence changes, and how we do our science changes. Hitherto the technologies which make contemporary science possible have been ignored. This book aims to correct that omission and to spell out the consequences of taking the technologies behind the doing of science seriously. | Heraclitus Redux: Technological Infrastructures And Scientific Change by Joseph C.
