Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact Douban Goodreads Skybridge
author: Ludwik Fleck translator: Fred Bradley / Thaddeus J. Trenn publishing house: University Of Chicago Press 1981 - 8
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"

读过 Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
不敢想象这本书竟然出版的这么早……感觉奠定了整个之后Science Studies的认识论基石(虽然其实可能也难说后面的认识论是他打下的,因为这书,非常讽刺地应了他自己的论点,被埋没了这么久,别人未必真读过并被影响过)
