The Advancement of Science: Science Without Legend, Objectivity Without Illusions

The Advancement of Science: Science Without Legend, Objectivity Without Illusions In the past three decades, reflections on the growth of scientific knowledge have inspired historians, sociologists, and some philosophers to contend that scientific objectivity is a myth. Kitcher resurrects notions of objectivity and progress in science by identifying both the limitations of idealized treatments of the growth of knowledge and overreactions to philosophical idealizations.
