Historical Ontology by Hacking
An account of how categories, objects, and knowledges are not timeless discoveries but historically produced through practices, classifications, technologies, and institutions. It argues that scientific methods and social practices actively create and transform kinds of people and things—illustrated by concepts like the ‘making up’ of people and looping effects—so that explanation must attend to historical emergence, experimental intervention, and the mutual shaping of subjects and categories.
