  • Knowing Pain

    A History of Sensation, Emotion, and Experience

    by Rob Boddice ...
    Pain, while known to almost everyone, is not universal. The evidence of our own pain, and our own experience, does not provide us with automatic insight into the pains of others, past or present. No matter how self-evident and ubiquitous the sting of a paper cut or the desolation of heartbreak might seem, pain is situated and historically specific.In a work that is sometimes personal, always ...

    Volume III: Authority

    Edited by Rob Boddice ...
    Increasingly, critics accused practitioners of hiding hubris behind their purported humanity and questioned whether an increasingly professional scientific community could retain its grip on the meaning of compassion.

  • Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production, 1796-1918

    Volume II: Humanity

    Edited by Rob Boddice ...
    This volume foregrounds humanity (in the sense of compassion or sympathy), which often supplied the motivation for medical experiment and scientific innovation.

    Volume IV: Uncertainty

    Edited by Rob Boddice ...
    This volume showcases doubt from within the scientific community itself.
