Digital access to data has revolutionized ways of doing science in the biological and biomedical fields, leading to a data-intensive approach to research that uses innovative methods to produce, store, distribute, and interpret huge amounts of data. In Data-Centric Biology, Sabina Leonelli probes the implications of these advancements and confronts the questions they pose. Are we witnessing the rise of an entirely new scientific epistemology? If so, how does that alter the way we study and understand life-including ourselves? Leonelli is the first scholar to use a study of contemporary data-intensive science to provide a philosophical analysis of the epistemology of data. In analyzing the rise, internal dynamics, and potential impact of data-centric biology, she draws on scholarship across diverse fields of science and the humanities-as well as her own original empirical material-to pinpoint the conditions under which digitally available data can further our understanding of life. Bridging the divide between historians, sociologists, and philosophers of science, Data-Centric Biology offers a nuanced account of an issue that is of fundamental importance to our understanding of contemporary scientific practices. 606 $aBiology$xData processing$xPhilosophy 606 $aBiology$xResearch$xPhilosophy 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aBiology$xResearch$xSociological aspects 606 $aResearch$xPhilosophy 615 0$aBiology$xData processing$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aBiology$xResearch$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aBiology$xResearch$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aResearch$xPhilosophy. 676 $a570.285 686 $aWC 3420$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aLeonelli$b Sabina, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0761717 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957639203321 996 $aData-Centric Biology$94358285 997 $aUNINA
