Philosophy Naturalized a Bit
Ronald Giere (RG) was once a philosopher of science of the traditional logical-empiricist type. As a good logical empiricist, he took it as his job to explicate the philosophical that is, logical foundations of science. But then he saw the light. As he tells us in the preface to Explaining Science (ES), in the early 1980s 'I began to lose my faith in the general program. My skepticism progressed to the point that I now believe there are no specia…

Charm Revisited
We seek to demonstrate that interpretative and quantitative approaches can be productively integrated in science studies research. We have developed techniques of citation and cocitation analysis which are sufficiently fine-grained to test a pre-existing interpretative analysis of the establishment of the `charm' hypothesis in high-energy physics. We present our quantitative data here and argue that they support, strengthen and extend the prior i…

The Quest for Quarks. Brian McCusker
Against putting the phenomena first
Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact
Originally published in German in 1935, this monograph anticipated solutions to problems of scientific progress, the truth of scientific fact and the role of error in science now associated with the work of Thomas Kuhn and others. Arguing that every scientific concept and theory including his own is culturally conditioned, Fleck was appreciably ahead of his time. And as Kuhn observes in his foreword, Though much has occurred since its publication…
Exemplars and Analogies
In her study of the applicability of Kuhn's ideas to theoretical high energy physics (THEP), Diana Crane emphasizes the importance of Kuhn's concept of an 'exemplar' .' Exemplars, she observes, 'are in some respects the most important elements in the Kuhnian paradigm.'2 In this Response I want to reinforce this remark by suggesting that one can hope to arrive at a deeper understanding of the social construction of scientific knowledge through con…
