Toward a History of Epistemic Things by Hansjrg Rheinberger
Arguing for the primacy of the material arrangements of the laboratory in the dynamics of modern molecular biology, the author develops a new epistemology of experimentation in which research is treated as a process for producing epistemic things.
“This is one of the most profound works in the history and philosophy of science in decadesOne seldom encounters works of such depth and originality; its conceptual framework and analytical tools are truly pathbreaking. The literary style of the work is inspiring in its poetic qualities, and the blend of wit, playfulness, rigor, and succinctness makes for captivating reading.”—Lily E. Kay, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
