Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the ideas of Ludwik Fleck, this essay examines his influence on 20th-century epistemology, particularly Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions. It aims to clarify key concepts related to styles and collectives of thought, while addressing historical, sociological, and philosophical dimensions of Fleck's interactionist doctrine from 1927. The text delves into foundational concepts like paradigm and incommensurability, striving to reconcile misconceptions about research practices and scientific output, making complex ideas accessible to readers.
