A Social History of Truth by Steven Shapin
How can we trust our knowledge of the world? Or know true from false accounts? Shapin addresses these questions through a recreation of the social world of gentlemen-philosophers in 17th-century England, for whom problems of credibility in science were solved through codes of genteel conduct.| SKU | Unavailable |
