Like any goal-oriented strategy, test is topic to many varieties of disasters. those mess ups have various beneficial properties, looking on the details in their resources. For the experimenter those pitfalls might be kept away from and their results minimized. For the historian-philosopher of technological know-how and the technological know-how educator, however, they're instructive beginning issues for reflecting on technology usually and medical approach and perform particularly. frequently extra is discovered from failure than from affirmation and winning software. The identity of mistakes, its resource, its context, and its remedy make clear either practices and epistemic claims. This publication exhibits that it's fruitful to deliver to gentle forgotten and misplaced disasters, topic them to research and study from their ethical. The examine of disasters, mistakes, pitfalls and blunders is helping us comprehend the best way wisdom is pursued and certainly generated. The booklet offers either ancient bills and philosophical analyses of mess ups in experimental perform. It covers subject matters similar to "error as an item of study", "learning from error", "concepts and useless ends", "instrumental artifacts", and "surprise and puzzlement".
This booklet should be of curiosity to historians, philosophers, and sociologists of technology in addition to to practising scientists and technology educators.
