论科学编史学对科学技术史研究的价值

On the Value of Historiography of Science in the Study of History of Science and Technology

关于科学编史学的研究是国内外科学史家研究的重要领域,也是科学哲学家重点关注的研究对象。本文通过分析科学编史学与科学技术史的概念及其相互关系,试图从"科学哲学"与"大科学史观"的整合研究、科学史"内史"与"外史"之分的研究、"辉格"与"反辉格"的科学史研究倾向以及女性主义研究视角等多个层面,论证了科学编史学在解决科学技术史研究的发展上,意义重大。

The study of historiography of science is an important field for historians of science both at home and abroad,and it is also the focus of scientific philosophers. By analyzing the concepts and interrelations between the history of science and technology,this paper attempts to demonstrate the significance of the research on the historiography of science from the perspectives of the integration of“philosophy of science”and“view on macro-history of science”,the distinction between“internal history”and“external history”of science history,the research tendency of“Whig”and“anti-Whig”of science history,and feminist research perspectives so as to solve the development problems of the research on the history of science and technology.
