사튼의 과학사 연구와 휴머니즘 = George Sarton's View of the History of Science and Humanism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A. Thackray and R. K. Merton, in "On Discipline Building: The Paradoxes of George Sarton," analyze George Sarton's role in building the history of science. They point out that the inventions of both a cognitive identity and a professional identity are two most important aspects when to build a new scholarly field, which they argue Sarton failed to provide. In this paper, I argue that Sarton's true goal was not in the creation of just a new professional academic discipline, in this case history of science. "New Humanism," in which the history of science would play an important role, was Sarton's ideal that bridge between science and humanities. Sarton's role therefore must be re-appraised from this new perspective.
