Within the last ten years, the interest of historians and
philosophers of science in the epistemological writings of the
Polish medical microbiologist Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961), who had up
to then been almost completely unknown, has advanced with great
strides. His main writings on epistemological questions were
published in the mid-1930's, but they remained almost unnoticed.
Today, however, one may rightly call Fleck a 'classical' figure
both of episte mology and of the historical sociology of science,
one whose works are comparable with Popper's Logic of Scientific
Discovery or Merton's pioneer ing study of the relations among
economics, Puritanism, and natural science, both also originally
published in the mid-1930's. The story of this book of 'materials
on Ludwik Fleck' is also the story of the reception of Ludwik
Fleck. In this volume, some essential materials which have been
produced by that reception have been gathered together. We will
sketch both the reception and the materials."
