试析科学外史研究——以两部天文史代表著作的比较研究为例

On the Study of External History of Science——A Comparison Between Two Works on History of Astronomy

本文通过对两部天文学内史、外史的著作《中国天文学史》和《天学真原》的对比研究,揭示出科学外史研究和科学内史研究不仅在研究侧重领域有所不同,更重要的是在研究视角方面有巨大差别,由此清晰地反映出科学外史研究的在侧重领域和研究视角等方面的特点。

The article aims to reveal the differences between the studies on the external and internal history of science in the aspects of research angles of view and research fields as well through a comparison study on two representative works on Astronomy, thus it sheds light on some main features of the study of the external history of science.
