Appointed a University Professor in 1991
Ian Hacking received his B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from the University of British Columbia in 1956 and a B.A. in Moral Sciences from Cambridge University in 1958, where he subsequently received both his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1962. Professor Hacking joined the University of Toronto in 1982, and was selected as a University Professor in 1991.
Often lost in the debate over the validity of social construction is the question of what is being constructed. Particularly troublesome in this area is the status of the natural sciences, where there is conflict between biological and social approaches to mental illness, and in other areas. Ian Hacking looks at the issue of child abuse, and examines the ways in which advanced research on new weapons influences not the content but the form of science. In conclusion, Hacking comments on the "culture wars" in anthropology, in particular the spat between leading enthnographers over Hawaii and Captain Cook.

make sense
评分Object vs idea. sociology of knowledge, science and technology study, Latour and David Bloor (Edinburgh);Contingency means no predetermination, does not mean undetermination. Whether Hawaiian take James Cook as God? Sahlins vs Obeyesekere.
评分Interesting question though
评分对于social constructionism有非常清晰的介绍,把metaphysical categories是如何被socially constructed梳理的很清楚。我非常喜欢这本书在mental的地方上constructionism的梳理,我在写homosexuality相关的论证时,有很多地方参考了Hacking的观点,觉得非常有用。除了这些,他的文章语句非常平实,读起来很舒服。(日常拉踩Sosa)
评分看完这本书,我开始对加拿大有一种近乎美好的幻想;难道是隔岸观火所以分外冷静明晰么?Hacking真是非常有智慧的人,给4星是因为,这书没必要看完,前面一章已经包括所有精华
