Hasok Chang is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy of Science at University College London.
In Inventing Temperature, Chang takes a historical and philosophical approach to examine how scientists were able to use scientific method to test the reliability of thermometers; how they measured temperature beyond the reach of thermometers; and how they came to measure the reliability and accuracy of these instruments without a circular reliance on the instruments themselves. Chang discusses simple epistemic and technical questions about these instruments, which in turn lead to more complex issues about the solutions that were developed.

評分可能是因為涉及太多曆史細節,這個書讀著真的枯燥,但是後來聽到作者給的講座卻令人意外地生動有趣。不知道為什麼寫作風格和講座風格差異這麼大?
