Originally published in German in 1935, this monograph anticipated solutions to problems of scientific progress, the truth of scientific fact and the role of error in science now associated with the work of Thomas Kuhn and others. Arguing that every scientific concept and theory--including his own--is culturally conditioned, Fleck was appreciably ahead of his time. And as Kuhn observes in his foreword, "Though much has occurred since its publication, it remains a brilliant and largely unexploited resource."
"To many scientists just as to many historians and philosophers of science facts are things that simply are the case: they are discovered through properly passive observation of natural reality. To such views Fleck replies that facts are invented, not discovered. Moreover, the appearance of scientific facts as discovered things is itself a social construction, a "made" thing. A work of transparent brilliance, one of the most significant contributions toward a thoroughly sociological account of scientific knowledge."--Steven Shapin, "Science"

裏程碑式的一本書,多虧Kuhn把它從廢紙堆裏翻瞭齣來。幸運的是,它的遭遇恰如它所闡述的道理。
評分認識論上的“先知”!
評分STS Core Seminar reading. Thought collective, thought style, fact.
評分科學研究以庫恩為節點分為前後兩個階段,而庫恩思想的來源或者說啓濛者是路德維剋弗萊剋。
評分想不到頗為Latourian
