Historical Epistemology of Ecological Economics
Author: Alberto FragioPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030945863
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
This volume uses historical epistemology in order to address several topics in the history of economic thought, with special emphasis on ecological economics, environmental metaphors of scarcity, and mathematical ecology. Using the field of ecological economics as an anchor point, the author reflects on the styles of reasoning in economics with a view towards understanding the nature of disagreement that stems from a failure of communication between rival approaches in economics. A thorough inquiry into issues related to identity, coherence, pluralism, and reception, this volume will appeal to researchers and students interested in history of economic thought, ecological economics, and philosophy of the sciences.
Hélène Metzger, Historian and Historiographer of the Sciences
Author: Cristina ChimissoPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315455358
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Is there something important to learn from the history of science about knowledge and the mind? Do habits and emotions play a significant role in science? To what extent do present concerns and knowledge distort our understanding of past texts and practices? These are crucial questions in current debates, but they are not new. This monograph evaluates the answers to these and other questions that Hélène Metzger (1889-1944) provided. Metzger, who was the leading historian of chemistry of her generation, left us unparalleled reflections on the theory, practice and aims of history writing. Despite her influence on subsequent generations of thinkers, including Thomas Kuhn, this is the first full-length monograph on her. Beginning with an overview of her life, and the challenges faced by a Jewish woman working within academia, the book goes on to discuss the most important themes of her historiography, and her engagement with other disciplines, notably general history, philosophy, ethnology and religious studies. The book also explores both Metzger’s immediate legacy and the relevance of her ideas for a host of current debates in science studies. The Appendices include four of her historiographical papers, translated into English for the first time.

La science de l'information : Origines, théories et paradigmes
Author: IBEKWE-SANJUAN FideliaPublisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2746289121
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Cet ouvrage de synthèse sur les fondements théoriques et épistémologiques de la science de l’information répond à trois questions : – existe-t-il une science de l’information à part entière ? – comment se définit l’information, objet de cette science ? – y a-t-il une spécificité française de la science de l’information ? Ce livre compare les chemins parcourus par la science de l’information en France et dans le reste du monde. Il contextualise cette évolution à l’aune d’une diversité d’inscriptions disciplinaires. L’enjeu de la science de l’information est de concilier l’approche réaliste de la connaissance, l’approche individualiste des sciences cognitives et l’approche collectiviste où les domaines sont façonnés et les comportements sont modulés par les environnements, les cultures et les construits sociaux partagés. Cette étude sera utile à tous les chercheurs, étudiants et professionnels désirant approfondir leurs connaissances sur les fondements théoriques de la science de l’information.
French Medical Culture in the Nineteenth Century
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004418350
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
The eleven essays in this volume illustrate the richness, complexity, and diversity of French medical culture in the nineteenth century, a period that witnessed the medicalization of French society. Medical themes permeated contemporary culture and politics, and medical discourse infused many levels of French society from the bastions of science - the medical faculties and research institutions - to novels, the theater, and the daily lives of citizens as patients. The contributors to this volume - all established scholars in the history of medicine - present the French medical experience from the point of view of both practitioners and patients, and show how medical themes colored popular perceptions and shaped public policies. Topics addressed range from popular medicine to elite Parisian medicine, the interaction of literary and medical discourse, social theater, medical research and practice, medical specialization and education. The essays reflect current trends of medico-historical analysis which emphasize the centrality of class, race, and gender in understanding concepts of disease and the practice of medicine. They show how the medical experience of patients, practitioners, students, and researchers varied according to social class, gender, and geography and the importance of these factors for the construction of disease.
