The relationship between the history and philosophy of science has become increasingly distant due to professionalization and cultural turns in history of science. This shift risks turning interdisciplinary dialogue into separate disciplinary conversations.

Area of Science:

  • History of Science
  • Philosophy of Science

Context:

  • Examines the evolving relationship between history and philosophy of science since the 17th century.
  • Recalls Thomas Kuhn's 1970s discussion on the interdisciplinary connection.
  • Considers the impact of the "practical turn" on both fields since the 1990s.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the increasing divergence between history and philosophy of science.
  • To explore the reasons behind this growing distance, including professionalization and cultural shifts in history of science.
  • To assess the potential for a "respectful separation" or "amicable divorce" between the disciplines.

Summary:

  • The professionalization of history of science and its turn towards cultural approaches have led to historicist perspectives, distancing it from analytical philosophy of science.

  • General historians increasingly engage with science and technology but often instrumentally, with limited use for philosophical insights.
  • The debate between historical and analytical approaches may become an internal disciplinary conversation rather than a dialogue between two fields.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the risk of the history and philosophy of science becoming siloed disciplines.
    • Suggests a potential shift from an integrated approach to separate scholarly conversations.
    • Provides context for understanding current trends in the historiography and philosophy of science.
