Description

Explore the deep connections between subjectivity and objective science in this academic work from Routledge. Who is the Scientist-Subject?: Affective History of the Gene examines the complex history and philosophy of life sciences. The book looks at how the history of subjectivity shapes scientific practice and analyzes the dominance of reductionism within molecular biology. Rather than accepting the traditional view of the scientist as a purely rational, autonomous, and self-regulated neo-Kantian ideal, this text provides a different narrative. It investigates how the microcosm of reductionism is maintained, questioned, or challenged within the field. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Science and Technology Studies (STS), anthropology, and the sociology of science.
