Objectivity
The emergence of objectivity in the mid-nineteenth-century sciences, as revealed through images in scientific atlases-a story of how lofty epistemic ideals fuse with workaday practices. Objectivity has a history, and it is full of surprises.In Objectivity, Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison chart the emergence of objectivity in the mid-nineteenth-century sciences-and show how the concept differs from its alternatives, truth-to-nature and trained judgment.This is a story of lofty epistemic ideals fused with workaday practices in the making of scientific images. From the eighteenth through the early twenty-first centuries, the images that reveal the deepest commitments of the empirical sciences-from anatomy to crystallography-are those featured in scientific atlases, the compendia that teach practitioners what is worth looking at and how to look at it.Galison and Daston use atlas images to uncover a hidden history of scientific objectivity and its rivals.Whether an atlas maker idealizes an image to capture the essentials in the name of truth-to-nature or refuses to erase even the most incidental detail in the name of objectivity or highlights patterns in the name of trained judgment is a decision enforced by an ethos as well as by an epistemology. As Daston and Galison argue, atlases shape the subjects as well as the objects of science.To pursue objectivity-or truth-to-nature or trained judgment-is simultaneously to cultivate a distinctive scientific self wherein knowing and knower converge.Moreover, the very point at which they visibly converge is in the very act of seeing not as a separate individual but as a member of a particular scientific community.Embedded in the atlas image, therefore, are the traces of consequential choices about knowledge, persona, and collective sight.Objectivity is a book addressed to anyone interested in the elusive and crucial notion of objectivity-and in what it means to peer into the world scientifically.

Objectivity : A Very Short Introduction
- Is objectivity possible?- Can there be objectivity in matters of morals, or tastes?- What would a truly objective account of the world be like?- Is everything subjective, or relative? - Are moral judgments objective or culturally relative?Objectivity is both an essential and elusive philosophical concept.An account is generally considered to be objective if it attempts to capture the nature of the object studied without judgement of a conscious entity or subject.Objectivity stands in contrast to subjectivity: an objective account is impartial, one which could ideally be accepted by any subject, because it does not draw on any assumptions, prejudices, or values of particular subjects.Stephen Gaukroger shows that it is far from clear that we can resolve moral or aesthetic disputes in this way and it has often been argued that such an approach is not always appropriate for disciplines that deal with human, rather than natural, phenomena.Moreover, even in those cases where we seek to be objective, it may be difficult to judge what a truly objective account would look like, and whether it is achievable.This Very Short Introduction demonstrates that there are a number of common misunderstandings about what objectivity is, and explores the theoretical and practical problems of objectivity by assessing the basic questions raised by it.As well as considering the core philosophical issues, Gaukroger also deals with the way in which particular understandings of objectivity impinge on social research, science, and art.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Reading Rodl : On Self-Consciousness and Objectivity
Sebastian Rödl's Self-Consciousness and Objectivity is one of the most original and thought-provoking books in analytic philosophy for the last several years.An ambitious defence of absolute idealism, Rödl rejects the idea that we as thinking beings can position ourselves within a given, mind-independent reality, and instead advances the position that the very idea of an ‘objective reality’ coincides with the self-consciousness of thought. In this outstanding collection, a roster of international contributors critically examine the significance of Rödl's arguments and develop them in new directions.Their contributions are organised into the following six sections: Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and naturalism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and formal idealism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and quietism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and absolute idealism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and the power of judgment Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and the determinacy of the individualThe volume concludes with an extensive response by Sebastian Rödl to his critics.This book constitutes essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary debates at ther intersection of analytic philosophy and philosophical idealism.

Objectivity and Diversity : Another Logic of Scientific Research
Worries about scientific objectivity seem never-ending.Social critics and philosophers of science have argued that invocations of objectivity are often little more than attempts to boost the status of a claim, while calls for value neutrality may be used to suppress otherwise valid dissenting positions.Objectivity is used sometimes to advance democratic agendas, at other times to block them; sometimes for increasing the growth of knowledge, at others to resist it.Sandra Harding is not ready to throw out objectivity quite yet.For all of its problems, she contends that objectivity is too powerful a concept simply to abandon.In Objectivity and Diversity, Harding calls for a science that is both more epistemically adequate and socially just, a science that would ask: How are the lives of the most economically and politically vulnerable groups affected by a particular piece of research?Do they have a say in whether and how the research is done?Should empirically reliable systems of indigenous knowledge count as "real science"?Ultimately, Harding argues for a shift from the ideal of a neutral, disinterested science to one that prizes fairness and responsibility.

Die Neue Sachlichkeit / The New Objectivity : Ein Jahrhundertjubilaum / A Centennial
Deutsch-englische Ausgabe Der Epochenbegriff „Neue Sachlichkeit“ wurde zu einem Synonym für den kulturellen Aufbruch der 1920er-Jahre und die in der Kunst, aber auch in Architektur, Design, Fotografie oder Literatur zu beobachtenden Rationalität und sachlichen Präzision.Gustav F. Hartlaub prägte diesen Begriff 1925 mit einer Ausstellung, die namensgebend wurde. 100 Jahre danach soll die in der Kunsthalle Mannheim gezeigte Schau kritisch hinterfragt und digital rekonstruiert werden.Neben Werken zentraler Künstlerpersönlichkeiten wie Max Beckmann, Otto Dix und George Grosz werden auch übersehene Positionen, vor allem von Künstlerinnen wie Anita Rée und Lotte Laserstein, vorgestellt.Ausgeweitet wird der Blick auch topografisch, etwa in die Schweiz und nach Italien, sowie zeitlich bis in die 1930er- und frühen 1940er-Jahre.Die Publikation verspricht ein visuelles Eintauchen in eine prägende Stilepoche und gibt Einblick in den aktuellen Forschungsstand über zentrale Fragen der Neuen Sachlichkeit. Blick ins Buch Die Neue Sachlichkeit – ein Panorama der 1920er- und 1930er-Jahre Eine Epoche neu entdeckt: weibliche Positionen und vergessene Künstler*innen mit Schlaglichtern auf Personen, Motive und Themen Ausstellung, Kunsthalle Mannheim, 22.11.2024 – 9.3.2025

The Tangle of Science : Reliability Beyond Method, Rigour, and Objectivity
Science is remarkably reliable. It puts people on the moon, performs laser eye surgery, tells us about ancient civilizations and species, and predicts the future of our climate.What underwrites this reliability? This book argues that the standard answers--the scientific method, rigour, and objectivity--are insufficient for the job.Here we propose a new model of science which places its products front and centre.In The Tangle of Science we show how any reliable piece of science is underpinned by a vast, diverse, and thick network of other scientific products.In doing so we bring back into focus areas of science that have been long neglected, emphasizing how every product, from the screws that hold the space shuttle together, to ways of measuring the consumer price index, to Einstein's theory of general relativity, work together to support results we can trust.
