Year

1988

One-line gist

Argues that all knowledge is from somewhere and some body, and that admitting our partial views makes science better, not worse.

Best when

You’re side‑eyeing claims of “pure objectivity” in a report or study at work.

My take

Dense but oddly energising, like a very good ranty podcast transcript. I kept thinking about dashboards and KPIs and who gets to decide what counts as a “fact” in an office.
