Soft" Area Studies versus "Hard" Social Science: A False Opposition
Much criticism of area studies has come from social scientists, some of whom consider area studies to be "soft," emphasizing description and culture, while social science is "hard," emphasizing mathematics, rigor, and replicability. Loren Graham, an area studies specialist, and Jean-Michel Kantor, a mathematician, maintain that this contrast is simplistic and undervalues area studies. They show that an area studies approach can help understand, n…
A Comparison of Two Cultural Approaches to Mathematics: France and Russia, 1890-1930
Many people would like to know where scientific ideas come from and how they arise. In the case of mathematics, new ideas often come in the form of new “mathematical objects”: groups, vector spaces, sets, etc. Some people think these new objects are invented, others that they are discovered. By exploring the birth of descriptive set theory in France and Russia in the period 1890–1930 we show that the leading French mathematicians worked within a …

The Ghost of the Executed Engineer: Technology and the Fall of the Soviet Union
Stalin ordered his execution, but here Peter Palchinsky has the last word. His ghost leads readers through the miasma of Soviet technology and industry, pointing out the mistakes he condemned in his time, the corruption and collapse he predicted, the ultimate price paid for silencing those who were not afraid to speak out. The story of this visionary engineer's life and work, as Graham tells it, is also the story of the Soviet Union's industrial …

The Socio-political Roots of Boris Hessen: Soviet Marxism and the History of Science
One of the most famous papers ever presented at a history of science meeting was `The Socio-Economic Roots of Newton's Principia', given by the Soviet physicist Boris Hessen at the Second International Congress of the History of Science, held in London in 1931. Although many scholars at the congress were impressed by Hessen's thesis that intellectual achievements such as Newton's are best explained by examining the social context out of which the…

The Formation of Soviet Research Institutes: A Combination of Revolutionary Innovation and International Borrowing
In the Soviet Union today the term 'scientific research institute' (nauchno-issledovatel'skii institut) has a significance and a currency unequalled in any country in Western Europe or the Americas. The prototypical research institute in the Soviet Union is located in the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Although far outnumbered by the institutes in the ministries and other academies, the institutes of the All-Union Academy of Sciences enjoy the …

The Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Communist Party, 1927-1932
No other research organization dominates the field of science in its country to the degree that the Soviet Academy of Sciences does. The coming to power of the Bolsheviks in 1917 presented Russian science with a new governmental attitude toward the place of science in national life. The Soviet Union's first five-year plan, the period of this study, was the crucial period for the Academy. During this time the Academy was transformed. Between 1927 …

Aspects of Sharing Science and Technology
Before 1972 the exchange of science and technology between the United States and the Soviet Union was limited to the very small program administered in accordance with official agreements which dated back to 1958. The tempo and scale of the exchanges in technical areas were dramatically altered by the eight separate agree ments signed at the 1972 and 1973 summit meetings. These agreements were reached as a part of foreign policy considerations po…

The Multiple Connections between Science and Ethics
of ethics? contains a great many observations with which I entirely agree. His belief that we have recently passed through a period (a generation or two) in which an extreme and historically conditioned effort was made to achieve a complete divorce between science and values is, in my opinion, correct. His observation (and prediction) that this era is now coming to an end, and will not soon be repeated, is supported by current controversies in ma…
