Theory of the image / Thomas Nail
By: Nail, Thomas.
Publisher: New York : Oxford University Press, 2019ISBN: 9780190924034; 9780190050085.Subject(s): Arts -- Philosophy | Aesthetics | Images, Photographic -- Philosophy | Digital images -- Social aspects | Motion -- PhilosophyDDC classification: 700 General note: Throughout the history of science and technology, objects have been understood in many ways but rarely have they been understood to play an active role in the production of knowledge. This has led to largely anthropocentric theories and histories of science, which treat nature as passive objects viewed by independent observers. Thomas Nail approaches the theory of objects historically in order to tell a completely new story in which objects themselves are the true agents of scientific knowledge. They are processes, not things. It is the first history of science and technology, from prehistory to the present, to illuminate the agency, knowledge and mobility of objects.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
