University of California Pressc20041 online resource (297 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780520232495 0520232496 Includes bibliographical references (p. 239-259) and index.Instrument epistemology -- Models : representing things -- Working knowledge -- Encapsulating knowledge -- Instrumentation revolution -- Thing knowledge -- The thing-y-ness of things -- Between technology and science -- Instrumental objectivity -- The gift.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.Philosophy of scientific instrumentsScientific apparatus and instrumentsSciencePhilosophyScienceTechnological innovationsScientific apparatus and instruments.SciencePhilosophy.ScienceTechnological innovations.502/.8/4TB 2280rvkBaird Davis61630MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974358703321Thing knowledge4329654UNINA01830nam# 22004213i 450 VAN0025484920251119020405.223N978940074887320230217d2012 |0itac50 baengNL|||| |||||i e bcr2edited by Anders Lund, Masaru Shiotani2. edDordrechtSpringer2012XIV, 387 p.ill.24 cm001VAN001240722001 Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics210 ChamSpringer2000-25001VAN002548442001 EPR of Free Radicals in SolidsTrends in Methods and Applicationsedited by Anders Lund, Masaru Shiotani205 2. ed210 DordrechtSpringer215 volumiill.24 cm2NLDordrechtVANL000068543Chimica analitica22541Chimica fisica22577.14Chimica ambientale22571.4Biofisica22610.153Fisica medica22LundAndersVANV207805ShiotaniMasaruVANV207806Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20251121RICAhttps://link.springer.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=978-94-007-4887-3E-book - Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE AMBIENTALI BIOLOGICHE E FARMACEUTICHEIT-CE0101VAN17NVAN00254849BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE AMBIENTALI BIOLOGICHE E FARMACEUTICHE17CONS e-book 2303 17BIB2303/153 153 20230217 261340UNICAMPANIA
