科恩的科学编史学方法新探

Novel Exploration of Cohen's Historiography Methods

科恩作为20世纪著名的科学史学家,他的科学编史学方法集中体现为继承与创新。一方面科恩继承、改造了萨顿、柯瓦雷的编目考证法、引证原始材料分析法、概念分析法、历史记录分析法,另一方面提出自己的编史方法,体现为证据分析法、广义语境分析法、微观宏观整合法、再版补充法。对科恩研究有助于梳理20世纪以来科学编史学方法的推进与创新。

Cohen is a famous historian of science during the 20th century,whose Historiography Methods embody succession and innovation.On the one hand,he inherited and transformed the George Sarton and Alexandre Koyré's list-text method,the method of citing original material and analysis,the conception analysis method,the historical record method;on the other hand,he put forward his own Historiography Methods,such as the evidence analysis method,the general context analysis method,the microcosmic and macroscopic integration method,and the new publishment method.The study on Cohen helps us to clear up Historiography method's advance and innovation during the 20th century.
