Inventing Temperature: Measurement and Scientific Progress - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Chang, Hasok (Lecturer in the Department of Science and Technology Studies, Lecturer in the Department of Science and Technology Studies, University College London)
Takes a historical and philosophical approach to examine how scientists were able to use scientific methods to test the reliability of thermometers; how they measured temperature beyond the reach of thermometers; and how they came to measure the reliability and accuracy of these instruments without a circular reliance on the instruments.
