Appointed a University Professor in 1991
Ian Hacking received his B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from the University of British Columbia in 1956 and a B.A. in Moral Sciences from Cambridge University in 1958, where he subsequently received both his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1962. Professor Hacking joined the University of Toronto in 1982, and was selected as a University Professor in 1991.
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.

不知所云,毫无头绪
评分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
评分不知所云,毫无头绪
评分reflection is better. 社会建构的乱殇来点解药。科学的,医学生物的,社会科学的都分析了一番,例子都很有趣,拆开了观念和对象,知识形式和内容,强调了观念,形式影响之重要性。有很多东西要继续补课~~费牙笨的等人(´▽`)ノ♪继续~
