simulo reviewed Objectivity by Lorraine Daston
None
4 stars
That took quite a long time to read. It is interesting and not particularly hard to read. There is, however not a story to follow as the history of objectivity is not told as one single move forward but as complex process with changing concerns and philosophies.
If you ever have worked on a research-like activity and were asked if your work is “objective” the book’s content might be particularly interesting.
Parts of the theory and observations are also published as 10-20p publications, in case you prefer you objectivity reading to chunked up a bit.
