Abstract
8. As examples I would cite Donald MacKenzie, Statistics in Britain: 1865-1930 (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1981); many of the articles cited in Steven Shapin, 'History of Science and its Sociological Reconstructions', History of Science, Vol. 20 (1982), 157-211; and the articles of Andy Pickering which were then incorporated into his book on constructing quarks. 9. I made a similar point in Explaining Science (op. cit. note 2, 169-70), in a section titled 'The Argument from Alternative Models'. 10. The primary defender of empiricism among contemporary Anglo-American philosophers of science is Bas van Fraassen: see his The Scientific Image (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1980). 11. Andrew Pickering, Constructing Quarks: A Sociological History of Particle Physics (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press & Chicago, IL: The University of Chicago Press, 1984), 413.
