Historiography in a metaphysical mode
Postpositivist Interpretations of the Chemical Revolution
Expressing the growing interest of historians of science in “the history of science as history,” this study offers a critical account of recent developments in the historiography of the Chemical Revolution.

It was only fairly recently that Sir Philip Hartog sought to rectify this situation with the affirmation that ‘Priestley's electrical work offers the key to Priestley's scientific mind’. Attacking traditional chemical historiography for tracing Priestl…
A “Revolutionary” Philosophy of Science
The works of Paul K. Feyerabend, Norwood Russell Hanson and Thomas S. Kuhn have come to occupy a central place in the annals of contemporary philosophy of science. Some of their contemporaries, ([1], [14], [20]), tend to regard them as the vanguard of a new “revolutionary” intellectual movement. Reacting against the views of their positivist predecessors, they embrace and propagate the idea that “pervasive presuppositions” are fundamental to scie…
