摘要
1939年,历史学家和科学哲学家梅茨格(1889-1944)在巴黎大学科学与技术历史研究所的演讲中发表了“Le rôle des pracimcurseurs dans l’samvolution de la science”,后来发表在他们的期刊《thal》上。在这次演讲中,梅茨格不仅抨击了“先驱者”的概念和专注于“伟人”及其发现的科学史,而且还为科学史的哲学价值提出了强有力的论据。我们在这里提供这篇科学史学中机智而微妙的文章的翻译,然后是我们的评论。
Hélène Metzger on Precursors: A Historian and Philosopher of Science Confronts Her Evil Demon
The historian and philosopher of science Hélène Metzger (1889–1944) delivered “Le rôle des précurseurs dans l’évolution de la science” in 1939 as a lecture of the Institut d’Histoire des Sciences et Techniques of the University of Paris, later published in their journal Thalès. In this talk, Metzger not only attacks the notion of “precursor” and a history of science focused on “great men” and their discoveries, but also makes a strong case for the philosophical value of the history of science. We here offer a translation of this witty and subtle essay in the historiography of science, followed by our commentary.
