Summary
This book explores how physicists, astronomers, chemists, and historians in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries employed ?epistemic virtues? such as accuracy, objectivity, and intellectual courage.0This collection of essays opens up new perspectives on questions, discourses, and practices shared across the disciplines, even at a time when the neo-Kantian distinction between sciences and humanities enjoyed its greatest authority. Scholars including historians of science and of the humanities, intellectual historians, virtue epistemologists, and philosophers of science will all find this book of particular interest and value.
