How Interactions between Humanities and Science Shed New Light on Shared Epistemic Virtues (Rens Bod). 330 $aThis book explores how physicists, astronomers, chemists, and historians in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries employed ?epistemic virtues? such as accuracy, objectivity, and intellectual courage. In doing so, it takes the first step in providing an integrated history of the sciences and humanities. It assists in addressing such questions as: What kind of perspective would enable us to compare organic chemists in their labs with paleographers in the Vatican Archives, or anthropologists on a field trip with mathematicians poring over their formulas? While the concept of epistemic virtues has previously been discussed, primarily in the contexts of the history and philosophy of science, this volume is the first to enlist the concept in bridging the gap between the histories of the sciences and the humanities. Chapters research whether epistemic virtues can serve as a tool to transcend the institutional disciplinary boundaries and thus help to attain a ?po st-disciplinary? historiography of modern knowledge. Readers will gain a contextualization of epistemic virtues in time and space as the book shows that scholars themselves often spoke in terms of virtue and vice about their tasks and accomplishments. This collection of essays opens up new perspectives on questions, discourses, and practices shared across the disciplines, even at a time when the neo-Kantian distinction between sciences and humanities enjoyed its greatest authority. Scholars including historians of science and of the humanities, intellectual historians, virtue epistemologists, and philosophers of science will all find this book of particular interest and value. 410 0$aBoston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science,$x0068-0346 ;$v321 606 $aHistory 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aIntellectual life?History 606 $aPhysics 606 $aChemistry?History 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aHistoriography and Method$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711000 606 $aIntellectual Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/729000 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aHistory of Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C34000 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 0$aIntellectual life?History. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aChemistry?History. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistoriography and Method. 615 24$aIntellectual Studies. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Chemistry. 676 $a121 702 $aDongen$b Jeroen van$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPaul$b Herman$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254763203321 996 $aEpistemic Virtues in the Sciences and the Humanities$92276598 997 $aUNINA
