"Leviathan and the Air-Pump" examines the conflicts over the value and propriety of experimental methods between two major seventeenth-century thinkers: Thomas Hobbes, author of the political treatise "Leviathan" and vehement critic of systematic experimentation in natural philosophy, and Robert Boyle, mechanical philosopher and owner of the newly invented air-pump. The issues at stake in their disputes ranged from the physical integrity of the air-pump to the intellectual integrity of the knowledge it might yield. Both Boyle and Hobbes were looking for ways of establishing knowledge that did not decay into ad hominem attacks and political division. Boyle proposed the experiment as cure. He argued that facts should be manufactured by machines like the air-pump so that gentlemen could witness the experiments and produce knowledge that everyone agreed on. Hobbes, by contrast, looked for natural law and viewed experiments as the artificial, unreliable products of an exclusive guild. The new approaches taken in "Leviathan and the Air-Pump" have been enormously influential on historical studies of science. Shapin and Schaffer found a moment of scientific revolution and showed how key scientific givens - facts, interpretations, experiment, truth - were fundamental to a new political order. Shapin and Schaffer were also innovative in their ethnographic approach. Attempting to understand the work habits, rituals, and social structures of a remote, unfamiliar group, they argued that politics were tied up in what scientists did, rather than what they said. Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer use the confrontation between Hobbes and Boyle as a way of understanding what was at stake in the early history of scientific experimentation. They describe the protagonists' divergent views of natural knowledge, and situate the Hobbes-Boyle disputes within contemporary debates over the role of intellectuals in public life and the problems of social order and assent in Restoration England. In a new introduction, the authors describe how science and its social context were understood when this book was first published, and how the study of the history of science has changed since then.
Steven Shapin is the Franklin L. Ford Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University.
Simon Schaffer is professor of history of science at the University of Cambridge.

評分終於讀瞭這本神書。sociology of science的經典之作。提齣intellectual space的概念,梳理瞭17世紀英國knowledge和social order的關係。讀完覺得霍布斯其實是個很可愛的人。另外要贊這本書的寫作,相當嚴謹清晰
評分波義爾自稱他的實驗報告使用的是naked laguage(沙漠般清楚明白的語言),倒是和英美哲學與曆史的學術文風頗像。
評分末章說politics和science占據瞭同一場域,倒不如說politics和science是同一個場域的兩種叫法。整本書最吸引我的是關於order和managed control的分析,從兩種知識/本體係統牽齣瞭兩套社會管理想象。一部關於經典問題的經典作品。
