Introduction -- Historical narrative -- The nature of thrombin and blood coagulation -- The regulation of thrombin: the discovery of heparin -- Philosophical reflections -- A notion of experimentation -- A notion of scientific discovery -- A notion of scientific progress -- Tampering with nature.
Summary: After the historiographic revolution in science studies of the 1960's, philosophers began to envision science as a product of historical and sociological forces and not as the result of the ""scientific method."" While the importance of experimentation is recognized in recent science studies, the full significance for its role in scientific practice generally remains overlooked. Therefore, attempts to reconstruct narratives of scientific practice are often incomplete. In this book, the author proposes onto-epistemological roles for experimentation in terms of an empirical methodology, for anal.
