An afternoon with Lorraine Daston, director of Berlin’s Max Planck Institute, historian of science and cultural critic, and author of several influential works.
Lorraine Daston has done consistently groundbreaking and challenging work on the history of probability and statistics, wonders in early modern science, the emergence of the scientific fact, scientific models, objects of scientific inquiry, the moral authority of nature, and the history of scientific objectivity. Most recently, she has begun to think deeply about “things that talk” and “moral and natural orders.”
In this lecture, she brings her laser-like intelligence to the idea of mapping and measuring, drawing out the ideas implicit in such central volumes as Wonders and the Order of Nature and Biographies of Scientific Objects, writing a kind of “biography” of our moment in intellectual history.
