论科学史学与历史学的关系

On the Relation Between the Historiography of Science and Historiography

科学史学隶属于历史学;历史学语境中的科学史学破除了传统科学史学对科学文本的迷信而走向社会文本,使科学史学分裂为内史与外史,极大地丰富了科学史的研究内容与方法,同时也引发了科学史学的非科学化倾向;科学史学应当充分利用自己在理论和方法方面独特的科学与史学两栖资源优势,直面科学主义与历史主义等尖锐复杂的历史认识论、方法论和价值论问题,在历史学语境中更加深刻地反思包括科学史在内的全部历史。

Belonging to historiography, the historiography of science in the language of historiography has done away with the blind faith of traditional historiography of science in scientific text and gone towards social text. As a result, the historiography of science was divided into internal and external histories of science, and the contents and methodology of science were greatly enriched. In the meantime, the non-scientific tendency of historiography of science was also initiated. The historiography of science should make full use of its unique theoretical and methodological resource in the amphibiousness of both science and history, and face the complex and acute problems of historical epistemology, methodology and axiology, such as scientiem and historism, while the entire history, including the history of science in the context of science should be reflected on with greater depth.
