This collection pieces together a wealth of material in order to
get inside the experience of scientific practice in the long
nineteenth century. It aims to reach, or perhaps to facilitate, an
understanding of the ways in which the value of scientific
knowledge was produced, lived and challenged. The new turn to the
history of experience suggests a logic to the compilation of
material that is completely original: the sources are not selected
according to the historical success of an idea or experiment, but
for the ways in which scientific endeavour loaded knowledge claims
with political or moral value, coupled with attendant practical
justifications. Thus, 'bad ideas' sit alongside 'good'; now
discountenanced practices take their place among the revered. In
sum, they reveal an experimental culture that was not merely
orientated toward cold knowledge or intellectual output, but
defined by shifting sets of affective practices and procedures and
the making of expertise out of the lived experience of doing
science.
