How did the concept of impartiality emerge? Until now, impartiality has been attributed to the norm of independent observation that emerged in the empirical sciences in modern times. Einstein Junior Fellow Anita Traninger takes a different approach: The FU Berlin literary scholar argues that the term primarily reflects the increasingly public and written communication of science. In her new publication, she analyses this thesis on the basis of Spanish, French and German scientific debates.
