 Traditionally, Kuhn claims, the primary goal of historians

of science was 'to clarify and deepen an understanding

of contemporary scientific methods or concepts by

displaying their evolution'.

(B) This entailed relating the progressive accumulation

of breakthroughs and discoveries. Only that which

survived in some form in the present was considered

relevant. In the mid-1950s, however, a number of faults

in this view of history became apparent. Closer analysis

of scientific discoveries, for instance, led historians to

ask whether the dates of discoveries and their

discoverers can be identified precisely.

(A) Some discoveries seem to entail numerous phases

and discoverers, none of which can be identified as

definitive. Furthermore, the evaluation of past

discoveries and discoverers according to present-day

standards does not allow us to see how significant

they may have been in their own day.

(C) Nor does the traditional view recognise the role

that non-intellectual factors, especially institutional

and socio-economic ones, play in scientific

developments. Most importantly, however, the

traditional historian of science seems blind to the

fact that the concepts, questions and standards that

they use to frame the past are themselves subject

to historical change.
