The moral economy of science (1995)

unapi

Description “As I hope will be clear from the above examples, [moral economies] tell us very little about the detailed contents of scientific articles and treatises, and equally little about the institutional framework of science. Rather, they answer old questions and pose new ones about how scientists at a given time and place dignify some objects of study at the expense of a great many others, trust some kinds of evidence and reject other sorts, and cultivate certain mental habits, methods of investigation, and even characters of a distinctive stamp. Above all, they focus our attention on the distinctions between and the history of the heterogeneous pursuits we are accustomed to lump together under the headings of `quantification' or `empiricism' or `objectivity'.”
