In The Intelligibility of Nature, Peter Dear considers how science as an idea and a discipline has evolved and positioned itself. His intellectual journey begins with a crucial observation: that scientific ambition is, and has been, directed toward two distinct but frequently conflated ends—doing and knowing.
Teasing out this tension between doing and knowing during key episodes in the history of science—mechanical philosophy and Newtonian gravitation, elective affinities and the chemical revolution, enlightened natural history and taxonomy, evolutionary biology, the dynamical theory of electromagnetism, and quantum theory—Dear reveals how the two principles became formalized into a single enterprise, science, that would be carried out by a new kind of person, the scientist.
Finely nuanced and elegantly conceived, The Intelligibility of Nature will be essential reading for aficionados and historians of science alike.
挺有意思的几个例子,尤其是牛顿自己对action-at-a-distance without medium的怀疑论和19世纪电磁的context中关于ether的论据,说明归根结底intelligible的标准还是深受17世纪的mechanical contact的影响。具体例子虽然有意思但是和intro里面natural philosophy vs instrumentality这段讨论似乎毫无关系。

评分Six fine case studies; the purpose of using "intelligibility" as a category for all is not clearly stated.
