Transactions of the IsisCB: Philosophy in August

Issue 1.15

The philosophy of science was better represented in the August batch than usual. Collectively, these citations give us the opportunity to explore the idea that the philosophy of science is “empty” without history, and that the history of science without philosophy is “blind.”

Since this issue is meant to cover all of the entries added to the CB in the month of August, there are several ways of looking at the citations below. First, they they reflect bibliographic practice: the titles from Environmental History, for instance, are all from a single issue on forests. This tells us more about the labor that goes into doing the history of science than it does about bibliometric reality. Second, special issues in the journal literature (on the notion of environment in biology and medicine; the historiography of genetics; Everett Mendelsohn; domesticity, gender, and math; the legacy of Weber’s 1917 lecture, “Wissenschaft als Beruf“; and, indeed, forests) do offer a sense of historiographic trends and concerns. Third, we can consider similarities and differences between the methodological orientations of different publishers and journals. Take Studies in History and Philosophy of Science and the Journal of the History of Biology, for instance: key concepts associated with the former include “Explanation; hypotheses; theories,” and “Models and modeling in science,” suggesting a primary concern with ideas; whereas “Memorials; commemorations” and “Scientific communities; interprofessional relations” feature among articles in the latter, suggesting a primary concern with people. Below is a similar comparison of the priorities held by publishers indexed last month.

As I suggested in the last issue of Transactions, it is very interesting to look at the basic shape of the publication timelines given for each of these concept tags.

These can help to differentiate between core concerns of the discipline and those that are more ephemeral in nature. Stay tuned for more timeline analysis in upcoming newsletters from the CB!
