Evolving Nature of Objectivity in the History of Science and its Implications for Science Education

The book delves into the historical evolution of objectivity in science and its impact on science education. It challenges the traditional view that science is defined by objectivity, certainty, and the scientific method, highlighting instead the role of controversies, alternative interpretations, and uncertainty. By examining these themes within their historical contexts, the author argues that objectivity has overshadowed other important epistemic virtues, complicating the relationship between objectivity and truth in scientific discourse.
