Western philosophers have traditionally concentrated on theory as the means for expressing knowledge about a variety of phenomena. This absorbing book challenges this fundamental notion by showing how objects themselves, specifically scientific instruments, can express knowledge. As he considers numerous intriguing examples, Davis Baird gives us the tools to "read" the material products of science and technology and to understand their place in culture. Making a provocative and original challenge to our conception of knowledge itself, "Thing Knowledge" demands that we take a new look at theories of science and technology, knowledge, progress, and change. Baird considers a wide range of instruments, including Faraday's first electric motor, eighteenth-century mechanical models of the solar system, the cyclotron, various instruments developed by analytical chemists between 1930 and 1960, spectrometers, and more.

可读性很强的Materialist epistemology，后面一半深入谈科学认知论karl popper等就有点略过了。前半段的三种仪器、三种认知方式：model knowledge/ working knowledge/ encapsulated knowledge 非常有趣
评分一副好牌被打的稀烂...也许是隔行如隔山，从科学史的角度看这本书实在觉得蜻蜓点水，根本没有质疑objectivity v. subjectivity，public v. private，materials v. ideas这些思维定式，庆幸现在谈materialist epistemology没有人还会这么写。
评分很有啟發
