Often lost in the debate over the validity of social construction is the question of what is being constructed. Particularly troublesome in this area is the status of the natural sciences, where there is conflict between biological and social approaches to mental illness, and in other areas. Ian Hacking looks at the issue of child abuse, and examines the ways in which advanced research on new weapons influences not the content but the form of science. In conclusion, Hacking comments on the "culture wars" in anthropology, in particular the spat between leading enthnographers over Hawaii and Captain Cook.
especially like his discussion of the social sciences and their peculiar relation to their objects—the discussion of ‘interactive kinds’ and the ‘looping effect’ through which people can reflexively react to social science descriptions by, for example, acting out and upon such descriptions.
评分看完这本书,我开始对加拿大有一种近乎美好的幻想;难道是隔岸观火所以分外冷静明晰么?Hacking真是非常有智慧的人,给4星是因为,这书没必要看完,前面一章已经包括所有精华
评分我觉得还是挺有用的。
评分读死了。。。
评分对于social constructionism有非常清晰的介绍,把metaphysical categories是如何被socially constructed梳理的很清楚。我非常喜欢这本书在mental的地方上constructionism的梳理,我在写homosexuality相关的论证时,有很多地方参考了Hacking的观点,觉得非常有用。除了这些,他的文章语句非常平实,读起来很舒服。(日常拉踩Sosa)
