Abstract
Claude Bernard (1813-1878) and Emil du Bois-Reymond (1818-1896) rank as two of the most influential scientists of the nineteenth century. Renowned for their experiments, lectures, and writing, Bernard and du Bois-Reymond earned great prestige as professors of physiology in a time when Paris and Berlin reigned as capitals of science. Yet even though they were equals in every way, du Bois-Reymond's reputation has fallen far more than Bernard's. This essay compares aspects of the two men's attitudes to philosophy, history, and biology in an attempt to explain why Bernard remains the better known. The answer lies less in the value of du Bois-Reymond's contributions than in the way that science is remembered in France and Germany.
Claude Bernard(1813-1878)和Emil du Bois-Reymond(1818-1896)是19世纪最具影响力的两位科学家。伯纳德和杜波依斯-雷蒙以他们的实验、演讲和著作而闻名，在巴黎和柏林成为科学之都的时代，他们作为生理学教授赢得了极高的声誉。然而，尽管他们在各方面都是平等的，杜波依斯-雷蒙的名声却比伯纳德下降得更厉害。这篇文章比较了两个人对哲学、历史和生物学的态度，试图解释为什么伯纳德仍然更出名。答案不在于杜波依斯-雷蒙贡献的价值，而在于科学在法国和德国被铭记的方式。
期刊介绍：
History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences is an interdisciplinary journal committed to providing an integrative approach to understanding the life sciences. It welcomes submissions from historians, philosophers, biologists, physicians, ethicists and scholars in the social studies of science. Contributors are expected to offer broad and interdisciplinary perspectives on the development of biology, biomedicine and related fields, especially as these perspectives illuminate the foundations, development, and/or implications of scientific practices and related developments. Submissions which are collaborative and feature different disciplinary approaches are especially encouraged, as are submissions written by senior and junior scholars (including graduate students).
