	Historiography of science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The historiography of science is the historical study of the history of science (which often overlaps the history of technology, the history of medicine, and the history of mathematics).
		The historiography of science is a meta-level analysis of the history of science itself — whereas the history of science is concerned with scientific events, the historiography of science is concerned with the descriptions of scientific events over time.
		Historiography of science is a much more recent discipline than history of science, although they have exerted great mutual influence on each other, through the study of theories, changes in theories, disciplinary and institutional history, the cultural, economic, and political impacts of science and technology, and the impact of society on scientific practice itself.

		Science is not a source of subjective value judgements, though it can certainly speak to matters of ethics and public policy by pointing to the likely consequences of actions.
		Science is practiced in universities and other scientific institutes as well as in the field; as such it is a solid vocation in academia, but is also practiced by amateurs, who typically engage in the observational part of science.
		The term "science" is sometimes pressed into service for new and interdisciplinary fields that make use of scientific methods at least in part, and which in any case aspire to be systematic and careful explorations of their subjects, including computer science, library and information science, and environmental science.

	THE HISTORIOGRAPHIC AND IDEOLOGICAL CONTEXTS OF THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY DEBATE ON MAN'S PLACE IN NATURE
		Significantly, neither author is centrally interested in the history of science as practiced by the specialists or is considered to be a member of "the profession of the history of science." Burrow is an intellectual historian of political theory, and Peel is a sociologist.
		Science is a social activity, born of society, and mediating its structures and values, at least as much as it is born of nature.
		At this point the historian of science begins to feel the primitive state of discussion on these issues in his own discipline, and the historian of the biological and human sciences is in a particular difficulty.

	Appelbaum/Davis -- Post Holocaust Science Education
		Science education must, in the end, make it possible for the general population to understand, appreciate, and critique science and society's interests in science.
		In effect, then, it could be said that science education as an institution preserves the prestige of a privileged elite of decision-makers by both producing that elite and establishing a reverence for science as a form of knowledge wielded by such an elite in those who never make it to the ranks of the annointed.
		The transformation of "science" called for in these pedagogical moments is at once a node of possibility and a source of anxiety or conflict over what exactly science "is." Pushkin calls for a different form of college-level experience in order for "science" to be possible in school environments.

	ISSUES IN THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF POST-BYZANTINE SCIENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For Modern Greek philology, the history of science was part of the history of philosophy for one of two reasons: either the history of science was considered a branch of the "naturfilosophie", or the pure philosophic work of Greek scholars prevailed on their scientific works (Sat has, 1868; Dimaras, 1975; Papanoutsos, 1953; Voumvlinopoulos, 1966).
		Another indirect approach to the history of science is the history of the Education made by Greek historians of the 19th and the 20th centuries (Gritsopoulos, 1966, 1971; Evagelidis 1936).
		The fact that history of science was either part of the history of philosophy, or sociology, or history of education created an anti-history of science position in the Greek intellectual milieu.

	SLAC - Handouts - Social Science - Historiography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Historiography, literally the "writing of history," is the study of the way history is presented.
		Because of the in-depth study of one nation as a separate and distinctive organism, the romantic interpretation of history often leads to a kind of obliviousness, even blindness, to similar or parallel manifestations of political, social, economic and cultural activity among other nations.
		Drawing upon many concepts from the social sciences, this view of history seeks to identify the clarify recurrent patterns (such as industrialization, bureaucracy, revolution, urbanization, etc.) and to ascertain the general modes of social, political and economic behavior in the past.

	Articles / Impact / Christianity: A Cause of Modern Science? - Institute for Creation Research
		Scholars affirm that modern science arose among the theologians, monks, and professors of Medieval and Renaissance Catholic universities and monasteries.
		This historiography of science has still to face up honestly to the problem of why three great ancient cultures (China, India, and Egypt) display, independently of one another, a similar pattern vis-a-vis science.
		The pattern is the stillbirth of science in each of them in spite of the availability of talents, social organization, and peace—the standard explanatory devices furnished by all-knowing sociologies of science on which that historiography relies ever more heavily.

	HPSC3150 Historiography of Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Historiography is the study of the writing of history, and thus this course generally covers matters of narrative, analysis, interpretation, form and structure as evidenced in history of science writing.
		In Semester 2, we move onto the territory of contemporary historiography, and the agenda of writers, themes and texts is at least partially open to negotiation, so that particular students' interests can be catered for.
		The overall aim of the course is reflexive, i.e it is designed to promote a sophisticated, analytical self-awareness for final-year historians of science, through encounters with the narrative, analytical and interpretive strategies of the best and most significant historians of science, both past and present.

	Introducing History of Science in Greek Secondary Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The introduction of history of science was in accordance with the guidelines of the White Paper of the European Union and took place on the initiative of the Greek history of science community.
		Throughout the narrative we have attempted to touch upon several themes: the complexity of the relation between science and religion, the influence of "irrational" practices (alchemy, astrology) on the development of science, and the importance of philosophy of science for the historiography of science.
		We discussed the transition from ancient Greek science to the scientific revolution in a chapter devoted to the late antiquity and the middle ages.

		For science I consider the “Hungarian phenomenon” and the “over”-participation of Jews as two of such promising discrepancies.
		In the production of science and scientists at least three different processes are involved: Personal striving, social interactions and the internal dynamics of science.
		In the beginning of the 20th century the major part of science in Germany was chemistry, of course directly related with the number of available job positions in industry.

	H-Net Review: Stuart W. Leslie on The Historiography of Contemporary Science and Technology
		At the same time, there seems to be a divergence between historians of science and other historians that may be far more damaging to the history of science in the long run.
		Fuller might be exaggerating when he says that "science seems to have an internal sense of development only when historians of science write about it." As part of the general history of the West, it is more common for science to be portrayed as " manifestation of ambient cultural forces" (p.
		He underscores the paradox that "we claim that we should immerse ourselves in the science of the past, to evaluate scientists or the scientific work of any earlier era in its own terms, according to the standards and the general state of knowledge of that time, not according to later knowledge and standards.

	The Road of Science and the Ways to God (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He draws especially upon the history and the philosophy of science to show that a rational belief in the existence of a Creator, or at least an epistemology germane to such a belief played a crucial role in the rise of science and in all of its creative advances.
		Special chapters show the connnection betwen a rejection of natural theology and an implicit assertion of the incoherence of the universe in the Copenagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, in logical positivism, and in the "pscyhologist" branch of the new historiography of science.
		Taken together, these investigations strongly suggest that the road of science and the ways to God form a single intellectual avenue.

		Merely a decade ago, most scientific historians considered recent science -- the scientific culture created, lived and remembered by contemporary scientists -- an area of study best left to the historical actors themselves.
		Today, an increasing number of historians are turning to the study of contemporary science.
		Can (and will) historians of recent science share the turf with other professional groups, such as active scientists, scholars of science and technology studies, and science journalists?

	Christianity: A Cause of Modern Science?
		We must avoid assuming technological advance proves a given civilization has science, or modern science, for most inventions that affected daily life in the pre-modern world economically were "empirical" discoveries by craftsmen and other pragmatic types, not true scientists meditating on the laws of nature.

		On the other hand, Hindu science concerning the material world was crushed by almost all these faulty intellectual ideas: the external real world and its orderliness were denied, eternal cycles and the organismic view of nature were espoused, and the heavens were seen as divine.
