The introduction distinguishes four related strands in the history of experimental control: the development of practices to stabilize experimental conditions; the career of the comparative design; the unfolding of methodological discussions about control practices and designs; and the history of the term “control”. Each chapter brings these distinctions to bear on specific historical episodes. The focus is on experiments with complex, elusive phenomena such as perception and learning, irregular movements, and unobservable elements. Such experiments bring control issues to the fore because they are difficult to design and stabilize and often controversial. Together, the chapters show that the local context shapes what exactly is controlled, how control can be accomplished, and how controls are justified. They also show that control strategies and methodological ideas often remain stable for a long time and change only gradually. This book, as well as the volume on analysis and synthesis in experimentation by the same editors, contains contributions by an array of experts from multiple disciplines, making it suitable for historians and philosophers of science and students alike.Archimedes, New Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,2215-0064 ;71ScienceHistoryPhilosophyHistoryAnalytical chemistryMathematicsHistoryHistory of ScienceHistory of PhilosophyAnalytical ChemistryHistory of Mathematical SciencesScienceHistory.PhilosophyHistory.Analytical chemistry.Mathematics.History.History of Science.History of Philosophy.Analytical Chemistry.History of Mathematical Sciences.509Schickore Jutta1736839Newman William R214780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910841872103321Elusive Phenomena, Unwieldy Things4157491UNINA01168nam2 22003013i 450 VAN0029922920251007124604.94920251007d2011 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||i e nncˆ11: L' ‰Italia in camicia nera1919-1925Indro Montanellipremessa di Sergio RomanoMilanoRCS Quotidiani2011VI, 262 p.ill.20 cm001VAN002991622001 Storia d'ItaliaIndro Montanelli210 MilanoRCS quotidiani215 22 vol.20 cm11MilanoVANL000284MontanelliIndroVANV232055247523RomanoSergioVANV001595RCS QUOTIDIANIVANV110325650ITSOL20251010RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI LETTERE E BENI CULTURALIIT-CE0103VAN07VAN00299229BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI LETTERE E BENI CULTURALI07CONS Vf 1510 XI 07 798445627 20251007 Italia in camicia nera995033UNICAMPANIA
