summary:
  Naturally, the historiography of science is nourished by the contributions of many disciplines that deal transversely with sciences, such as history, philosophy, sociology, etc., as well as other scientific disciplines such as physics, medicine, biology, etc. Thus, we can find in different fields of knowledge authors such as Koyré (Philosophy), Kuhn (Physics), Fleck (Medicine), Merton (Sociology), Butterfield (History), for example, who took sciences as an object of study from the point of view of their fields – scientific, historical, philosophical, sociological, etc. – but brought original contributions to the historiography of science.

  One can see this historicity of the writing of the history of science from Condorcet to current social studies of sciences; from Auguste Comte to Thomas Kuhn; from Paul Tannery to I. Bernard Cohen; from Pierre Duhem, Georges Sarton and Aldo Mieli to the historical French epistemology of Gaston Bachelard, Georges Canguilhem and Alexandre Koyré; from Léon Brunschvich and Émile Meyerson to the strong program of the School of Edinburgh; from Ludwik Fleck to Michel Serres; from Edgar Zilsel and Marshall Clagett to Paolo Rossi and Joseph Agassi; from Richard Westfall to Pietro Redondi; from A. Rupert Hall to Steven Shapin; from Hélène Metzger-Bruhl to Alistair Crombie; from Marie Boas Hall to Simon Schaffer; from Michel Foucault to François Delaporte; and within all of these individual and collective trajectories and paths is the historicity of an area of reflection on science which is drawn and founded on the field of history. This special dossier Ludwik Fleck would not exist without the hard work of the organizers – as well as the support of their institutions – Paweł Jarnicki (Project Science Foundation, Poland) and Sandra Lang (Ludwik Fleck Zentrum, Switzerland).

  Technology, objects and ideology in the Francoist Spain: Review of Lino Camprubí´'s book Engineers and the Making of the Francoist Regime, The MIT Press, 2014.

summary:
  This much may sound as a drop of historical materialism in the most over-simplistic fashion conceivable (or even worse: a pinch of technological determinism) and there might surely be those wondering skeptically if to dismiss the role of political ideas in the analysis of political history treating them as epiphenomenal superstructures makes an adequate hermeneutical strategy. The moral behind the story(ies) is one that helps connect every individual case study to indicate not just that artifacts have their own politics, to put it in the words of Landgon Winner, but how political notions are made concrete (in the dual sense of this term: both as a noun and as an adjective) by physical artifacts given rise by science and technology production.

At all events, chemical atomism was specifically concerned with the problems chemists were interested in—the variety of chemical substances and their interactions.

In the years when Duhem was reflecting on the philosophical value of science, the philosophy of science was not attracting much attention in Italy.

  In a recent article entitled “Georges Canguilhem e a construção do campo da Saúde Coletiva Brasileira”, José Ricardo Ayres argued that, despite its original political motivation, the recourse to historical epistemology, particularly the works of Canguilhem, opened the possibility of a critical reflection on the potentialities and limitations of Collective Health as well as a reflection on the “strategies to improve it, both in its characteristic critical investments in health sciences and techniques, as well as in its practical commitments and instrumental tasks” (Ayres 2016, 140). This paper presents the role of Althusser and two of his students in the 1960s, Pierre Macherey and Dominique Lecourt, in the diffusion of the work of Georges Canguilhem in Brazil.

Although it is considered to be a sub-discipline of history, the historiography of science is in fact a point of confluence of science, history and philosophy.

Thus, it becomes feasible to maintain scientific laws can be identified, since they would be true universal propositions embedded in explanatory scientific theories that are also true (or at least approximately true).

  This is an open access article Dossier Georges Canguilhem The Relationship between History and Epistemology in Georges Canguilhem and Gaston Bachelard Enrico Castelli Gattinara1 Abstract: The article shows the strategic analogies, but also the differences between Bachelard and Canguilhem on the use of the history of science for epistemology. The Relationship between History and Epistemology in Georges Canguilhem and Gaston Bachelard Enrico Castelli Gattinara 16 differences, with respect to their reciprocal approach to the history of sciences, which had led to the creation of two rather different research centers, different in their modalities and theoretical foundation, more or less explicitly in competition with each other.8 We recall how much Canguilhem has written and repeated constantly, in his long career as a scholar: the concept prevails strategically on the object, just as the theory prevails (axiologically) on the facts.

  Antonino Drago in “A Suggestion for Teaching Science as a Pluralist Enterprise” discusses the changes in science education that happened along the past fifty years through four paradigms in a brief, coherent and straightforward manner before exploring the discovery of two dichotomies suggested by the historical foundations of science: a need urge for a renewal in science education. Brandon Boesch in “Representing in the Student Laboratory” examines the role in science education of the philosophical discussion about the representational practice in science through four case studies.

  In this book the reader will have the opportunity to accompany with unusual richness of detail, the major episodes in the recent history of this field of science research – which Fleck has suggestively called the “science of science” and which, more recently, the contemporary historiography has renamed as science studies. This is a book on the historicity of science.

summary:
  For Canguilhem vitalism is a way to understand Life in a certain way in order not to miss its essential spontaneity; historically, thinkers known as vitalists have had what he calls “this an increasing awareness that life is so complex that the scientific study of transients cannot attempt to start from raw inorganic materials, but rather needs to begin with organic compounds and processes to study how these, or similar alternatives, are produced in living systems and the laboratory” (Etxeberria and Ruiz-Mirazo 2009, S33-4). In the same essay, Canguilhem asserts from the outset that when the philosopher inquires into biological life, she has little to expect or gain from “a biology fascinated by the prestige of the physicochemical sciences, reduced to the role of a satellite of these sciences” (Canguilhem 1965, 83; Canguilhem 2008a, 59).

  He wanted to show that physical theories have “value as knowledge outside their practical utility” (1908a, 319) and that this very assertion can only be justified if the scientist breaks with positivism and endorses a conception of rational judgement that goes beyond the strict confines of logic.5 At the same time, he wanted to show that the cognitive value of physical theory is not tied to its offering (mechanical) explanations of the experimental laws. For Duhem laws are not justified “one by one”, by observation and made general by induction.

Peña-Guzmán1 Abstract: In the 1950s, George Canguilhem became known in France as a vocal exponent of the philosophy of the concept, an approach to epistemology that treated science as the highest expression of human rationality and scientific concepts as the necessary preconditions for the manifestation of scientific truth. It follows from this that a history of scientific concepts will differ from a history of scientific theories because a single concept can appear in more than one theory.

In the history of science, indeed, one significant moment for vitalism was the early twentieth century, when logical empiricists attacked the vitalism of Hans Driesch and contributed to its final overthrow.

  Throwing Away the Ladder of Tradition After We Have Climbed up It: Or Must We Imagine Wittgenstein’s Philosophy for Its Own Sake?

summary:
  The 100th anniversary of the publication of Wittgenstein’s first book, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, was our inspiration for the proposal of this special issue. However, most of the articles presented here do not deal specifically with the first philosophy of the Austrian philosopher but mainly with the later Wittgenstein’s work and its possibilities to analyze sciences.

  Another research on this topic is that one of phenomenological origin: starting from the studies of the psychologist of perception Paolo Bozzi (since 1958) naive physics had entered the laboratory, and he was the first to find that the physical knowledges of the adult individuals were “Aristotelian”. In the meantime, we recognize that if there is a misunderstood father of naive physics, this is just Bozzi: since 1958-59, 18 years earlier than Shanon’s article (see Shanon 1976), he had found in the laboratory the presence of Aristotelians notions in the reading made by the individuals of the pendular motion and the one on inclined planes (Bozzi 1993, 29-67).

Against this background, Du Châtelet comes to the following conclusion: Mr. Leibniz’s reasoning against absolute Space is therefore irrefutable, and one is forced to abandon this Space, if one does not wish to renounce the principle of sufficient reason; that is to say, to renounce the foundation of all truth.

  The Emerging Research Field of Sustainability Transitions: An Evolutionist Perspective on Scientific Advance

summary:
  To conclude, if we follow this lead, that scientific fields of inquiry can form under different contexts, from within other fields, more or less influenced by external events (such as politics), mainly due to social praxis associated with its scientific grammar, does the notion of a well-behaved scientific cycle (normal science – paradigm failure – paradigm contestation – scientific revolution) turns to dust? There is also evidence that this process was influenced by scientific fields that are already established and with their own traditions and language, strengthening the hypothesis that scientific progress, in this case, appears to be a process of speciation.

It is not a description of a metre, but a rule we learn to follow in order to apply this word in measuring empirical objects.

First, it frees witness testimony from the idea that it is essentially a transmission without interpretation (and therefore distortion) of a direct experience.

  Beginning with the Socialist Calculation Debate of the 1920s and 1930s as a defining moment, when the pressures of democracy with the enfranchisement of new groups of people and the perceived failures of liberalism to create and distribute wealth makes Mises reconceptualize the idea of sovereignity by “shifting it from the political to the economic realm” where “markets simply manage to express the popular will more articulately and meaningfully than do mere elections” (OLSEN, 2019, 44), making the consumer a spearhead of politics and finishing with the adoption of free market reforms inspired by the notion of the consumer by Danish social-democrats in the last decades of the twentieth century, this book never takes neoliberalism as a progression of the ideals of a diminute sect of economists that seduced its contemporary peers. As a koselleckian project, Olsen does not take the notion developed by Mises in the first decades of the last century and retraces its steps to our contemporary world without modification, but embeds it in a world where “economic theories, political ideologies, and social-political programs […] all drew on distinct consumer figures” (OLSEN, 2019, 63).

  “The Use of Pleasure” of learning: A Foucauldian Perspective on the Role of Scientific Pedagogy in the Historiography of Science

summary:
  Among these, there are some already “classic” studies that, following the “tradition” of science studies, generally end up involving case studies of scientific training practices in loci that are very temporally and geographically located (Kaiser 2005b; Olesko 1991; Rudolph 2002; Warwick 2003). Thus, it is a presentist temporal regime that determines the investment of scientific work in the production of these stories and not some preoccupation more eminently derived from the past (although it is debatable how much this is not more common in the more usual historiographical genres: see Chang, 2021).

  An analysis of power relations in science in situations of scientific controversy suggests the use of Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of scientific field. Coincidentally, one of the first uses of the notion of scientific field in the analysis of science discussed events closely related to our theme:

Well, Michel Foucault also includes himself here, given that he circumvented some strong trends of his time, linked either to a position on Marxism, to Freudians, philosophers, specialists, politicians, theorists, academics or not, or, as another possible classification that he gives us, to “a philosophy of experience, of meaning, of the subject”, as opposed to a philosophy of the concept and rationality (Foucault 1994, IV, 764).25 Everything would have to do with the “reception” in France of the Cartesian Meditations (2006), pronounced by Husserl in 1929 and later published.

This paper aims to revisit the intellectual tension in the River Plate region surrounding a dispute between the Hungarian philosopher Desiderio Papp and the Argentine-Uruguayan physicist Félix Cernuschi when they were contenders for the Chair of Scientific Thought at the School of Humanities and Sciences of the Universidad de la República in Uruguay.

  Pierre Monbeig and the Formation of Geography in Brazil (1925-1957): Geohistory of Knowledge, Intellectual History and the Insertion of Brazilian Geography into the World-Science

summary:
  The institutionalisation of French geography began to gain impulse after France’s defeat in the Franco- Prussian war in 1870, as the failure of the French, and the German soldiers' knowledge of geography became apparent. The intriguing thing about Daniel Loi’s analysis is that the most recurrent causal structures in the classical works of geographers produced between 1900 and 1910 were those organized around linear linkages, which evoke a theoretical construction that is predominantly historical and ecological, based on linguistic and temporal linearity, revealing a “diachronic tendency of French geography” (own translation) (Loi 1982, 19) and which, as a rule, began with the consideration of natural factors.

  Hybrid Knowledge and the Historiography of Science: Rethinking the History of Astronomy between Second-Century CE Alexandria, Ninth-Century Baghdad, and Fourteenth-Century Constantinople

summary:
  In his Great Introduction to Astrology, Book One, Chapter Five sets out ten points of criticism against astrology, which Abū Maʿšar carefully refutes in order to legitimate astrology as a science.12 Among these criticisms and refutations, the third is especially important for the current study, and it starts as follows: At a general level, ninth-century Baghdad and fourteenth-century Constantinople saw the formation of factions who considered astrology and monotheistic faith to be incommensurable, by labeling astrology a “foreign science,” thus potentially damaging the faith of the receiving culture: embracing astrology would have meant accepting determinism and the denial of free will, a position which would have been at odds with the teachings of Islamic and Christian faith.

  Development of the Theory of the Functions of Real Variables in the First Decades of the Twentieth Century

summary:
  Since every measurable function a.e. coincides with a Baire function it follows by the previous Fréchet theorem that every real measurable function of real variable is the a.e. limit of a sequence of continuous functions (Taylor Dugac 1981, 150 and following, where two proofs by Lebesgue are given). In order to obtain the proof of the fundamental theorem, Vitali establishes some partial results that one can find also in the Leçons: for example he proves that if a function is absolutely continuous then it is of bounded variation, (toute intégrale indéfinie est à variation bornée, in the Leçons) and also that it is not true the converse of the preceding proposition, that is there are continuous functions of bounded variation that are not absolutely continuous like the Cantor function (the (x) function of the Leçons): indeed it is continuous and not decreasing, therefore it is a function of bounded variation, but for every >0 there exists a set of intervals whose union contains the Cantor set such that the sum of all the intervals is less than : The increment of the function in it is equal to 1 and therefore the Cantor function is not absolutely continuous.

One branch of the philosophical tradition has responded to such shifts not by rejecting rhetorical discourse per se, but by sublating the purpose and practice of rhetorical language in the direction of realism (Cicero 1949, I.xxxi.51; II.iii.9-10; Augustine 1999, IV.ii; IV.vi; Kimball 1986, 27).

  Research on COVID-19: A Microcosm to Discuss Scientific Work in Science Teaching from a Latourian Standpoint

summary:
  It is in this sense that we discussed COVID-19 and the production of vaccines as a way of seeking to bring school science to reality, to make it relevant and motivating to the students’ understanding of the production of scientific facts, and to try to reveal several facets of the social nature of science. The context of vaccine denialism and distorted opinions regarding the efficacy of preventive and curative treatments for COVID-19 (Hallal and Victora 2021) brings up the importance of critical contextualization in science education, especially regarding the STS relationships (Liu 2012), from a Nature of Science perspective and its implications for school science (Adúriz- Bravo 2004).

  Separating “Things” from “Objects” for the History of Opium Addiction: A Philosophical Reappraisal of Latour’s ANT

summary:
  Naturally, this article is now well-suited to assume the mission of confirming the separation of things from objects in the ANT-based reality of opium addiction history by taking into consideration the theory of interaction and moral externalism (Chen 2022). As a final note, the author shall now explicate how the “lessons” learned in our historical examination of British narcotic dependence can help us understand the epistemological containment of conspiracy theories by the revised interpretation of ANT interactions.

summary:
  In practical terms, Latour’s Anthropocene prevails because he provides a series of basic argumentation that shows the epistemic violence of universalism dominance and Western modernity doctrine and its limitation in today’s world. The tendency Bruno Latour and Actor-Network-Anthropocene Rangga Kala Mahaswa Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science 14 (June) 2023 6 to understand the Gaia hypothesis only as a metabolic and holistic life form, and ignore the relations that it encompasses, is teleological (Lenton, Dutreuil, and Latour 2020).

summary:
  But clearly, this consequence is unacceptable because it is incompatible with function pluralism, i.e., the existence of a variety of accounts of biological function, which simply presupposes that function terms have literal meanings. The biological function debate dates back to the 1960s and has since then generated a variety of accounts of biological function.

summary:
  Young begins from the class of the continuous functions on a bounded interval whose Cauchy integral is well known: as a first step, since if a bounded function is lower semicontinuous it is the limit of an increasing sequence of continuous functions, it is possible to define its integral as the limit of the integrals of such functions; analogously if the function is upper semicontinuous, since in such a case it is the limit of a decreasing sequence of continuous functions; the second step consists in giving the definition of lower generalized integral of whatever bounded function f(x) as the least upper bound of the integrals of the upper semicontinuous functions not greater than f(x) and of upper generalized integral of f(x) as the greatest lower bound of the integrals of the lower semicontinuous functions not less than f(x). The notion is deeply studied in 1910 by Lebesgue: the central part of (Lebesgue 1910) indeed is a re-examination of the definitions and the proofs of the Vitali’s widely quoted paper of 1908: real additive set functions are considered instead of integral functions, for them a notion of derivative is defined, in general.

summary:
  However, these new sociological tools for Science Studies were not heir from Merton’s sociology of science (Merton 1938) since the new objects and new approaches to science needed not only the methodologies of the social sciences but also an epistemology that was far from the Mertonian ideal and more attuned to what the history and philosophy of science presented. In addition to a regular issue on the historiography and the history of science, in its 14th issue, Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science presents a special issue on Bruno Latour.
