Science and Community Practices and Personnel Evaluation
It is "They put it in a jar and mix it up" to include in the term "science" "the practices in a given scientific community" or "the system of evaluation of researchers in an organization." Takase: Originally, science had patrons such as the Medici family, and scientists would send letters to them to present their work. They would say that their research would be useful for the technology that the patrons had, and so on. Kano: The patron's viewpoint was to buy his own honor (Peter Dear, "Revolution of Knowledge and Experience" (Misuzu Shobo, 2012))... On the other hand, standing in a role that is not honorable is conducive to economy.... The big question arises whether the value of science is really just "honor" and "money," or whether those are the only two things. ---
