Jan 20, 2014 at 0:56 comment added Joseph Weissman Definitely some good considerations here! The Longino sounds pretty intriguing
Jan 20, 2014 at 0:30 comment added Rex Kerr Funny, I would have argued the other way around: if in some sense a community can practice science, it is only by doing things that imitate what an ideal individual scientist would do. Thanks for the reference.

Jan 19, 2014 at 22:16 comment added ChristopherE Yes, I might've glossed it somewhat in responding to the question more than your answer; Longino argues that if there is some sense an individual can practice science, it is only by doing things that imitate what an ideal scientific community would do. See Helen E. Longino. Science as Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry. Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1990.
Jan 19, 2014 at 19:28 comment added Rex Kerr Nice explanation! I have not yet found any work that is remotely convincing that science is fundamentally a social process, however. I haven't read Logino's--what's the citation? (As far as I can tell, the key steps in desire-neutralization do not require more than one person, even if they are aided by it.)
