This ambitious book by one of the most original thinkers in science
studies offers a sophisticated new understanding of the production
of scientific knowledge and the nature of scientific, mathematical, and
engineering practice.
Andrew Pickering takes into account the extraordinary number of
elements
—
social, technological, conceptual, metaphysical
—
that come
together in the practice of science. He describes science as a zone of
encounter where machines, instruments, facts, theories, disciplined
human practices, and social relations are intertwined
—
engaged in a
ceaseless and open-ended interaction he calls the mangle of practice.
The core of the book consists of extended case studies that show how
the concept of the mangle advances our understanding of scientific
work both past and present. Pickering discusses in detail the building
of the bubble chamber, the search for the quark, the construction of the
quaternion system in mathematics, and the introduction of computer-
controlled machine tools in the industrial workplace, demonstrating
how the contours and powers of the human, material, and social worlds
have shaped one another in specific situations. Taken together, these
studies illuminate the most fundamental aspects of scientific practice
—
the development of experimental apparatus, the production of facts,
the creation of theory, and the interrelation of machines and social
organization.
The Mangle of Practice continues the work of Pickering s ground¬
breaking Constructing Quarks, challenging accepted ideas about the
practice of science, the role of the scientist, and the nature of scientif¬
ic truth. Deepening our understanding of the relations among science,
technology, and society, this book is accessible to anyone interested in
the issues it takes on, and essential reading for sociologists, historians,
and philosophers of science.
