Summary
This document appears to be page 162 of a book or academic essay regarding the history and philosophy of science (likely 'Objectivity' by Daston and Galison). The text discusses the evolution of scientific representation from 18th-century 'idealization' (perfecting nature) to 19th-century 'mechanical objectivity' (hands-off recording), and finally to the mid-20th-century reliance on 'trained judgment.' While the content is purely academic, the document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, suggesting it was included in a document production for a congressional investigation, likely related to Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the scientific community.
