< BACK From Zone Books: Objectivity Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison Reviews"The author's argument here is complicated but fascinating (and, because the argument is about images, the book is beautiful)."— Science "This is a surprising, engrossing book that treats humanity's struggle to unsnarl the world and itself as a field of endless turmoil and fascination." — Rain Taxi "We need history of science in the style of Daston and Galison: a history of science that commands the details but at the same time discerns the shape of larger developments—and that makes us realize just how many meanings have been packed into the little word 'objectivity,' which rolls so trippingly off the tongue." — Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung "As Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison point out in their capacious and engaging study of the concept of scientific objectivity from the 17th century to the present day, the universal form is key to understanding how modern science moved from the study of curiosities, through the representations of perfect, notional specimens, to a concept of objectivity as responsibility for science." — Brian Dillon, Modern Painters |
