Medical Science in the Light of a Flawed Study of the Holocaust
In her PhD thesis Reading Fleck: Questions on Philosophy and Science (Hedfors, 2006) and her papers based on it, Eva Hedfors proposes a sci entifically informed reading of Ludwik Fleck that aims to contest the (puta tive) mythology of Fleck. According to Hedfors, Fleck is believed to have been an important scientist. However, a careful reading of his scientific papers, she claims, reveals that Fleck's studies were poorly done, often meaningless a…
Demarcating Epidemiology
Although epidemiology as a scientific study of disease in populations claimed an independent disciplinary status already in the mid-nineteenth century, its history in the twentieth century can be seen as a continuous and often contentious attempt to define the field's social and intellectual boundaries vis-à-vis a variety of neighboring scientific fields and public health practices. In a period dominated by laboratory biomedical sciences, epidemi…
Achieving disbelief
The Beginnings of Semantics
Dimensions of Citation Analysis
An analytical scheme that differentiates among the various types of cognitive and social functions of citations is used as the basis for an analysis of the results of a questionnaire designed to probe the citing behavior of a group of scientists who had cited one of four papers originating from a single biochemical laboratory. Even when papers fall within a relatively well-defined research area and are based on research conducted within a single …
Intellectuals in Social Movements
Medical and Biological Constraints
Studies of the role of social and institutional contexts of scientific research have rarely paid attention to the manner in which, in some fields, the formulation of scientific problems and research strategies is structured jointly by the theoretical and methodological commitments of scientists, and by considerations arising out of an interest in practical problem-solving. Because bacteriology was institutionalized predominantly as a medical fiel…
The Politics of Linguistics. Frederick J. Newmayer
Institutions and Schools of Thought
In this examination of the institutional conditions under which the Neogrammarian school of thought made its appearance in late 19th century linguistics in Germany, the emergence of the Neogrammarians is interpreted as the reaction of a well-placed, rising elite to the institutional changes transforming the study of philology at the German universities. The status of school members within the academic community and changes in the situation of the…
