Ludwik Fleck
“Whatever is known has always seemed systematic, proven, applicable, and evident to the knower. Every alien system of knowledge has likewise seemed contradictory, unproven, inapplicable, fanciful, or mystical. May not the time have come to assume a less egocentric, more general point of view and to speak of comparative epistemology?”
Ludwik Fleck, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact

Ludwik Fleck
“In science, just as in art and in life, only that which is true to culture is true to nature.”
Ludwik Fleck, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact

Ludwik Fleck
“This social character inherent in the very nature of scientific activity is not without its substantive consequences. Words which formerly were simple terms become slogans; sentences which once were simple statements become calls to battle. This completely alters their socio-cogitative value. They no longer influence the mind through their logical meaning – indeed, they often act against it – but rather they acquire a magical power and exert a mental influence simply by being used.”
Ludwik Fleck, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact

Ludwik Fleck
“The current state of knowledge remains vague when history is not considered, just as history remains vague without substantive knowledge about the current state.”
Ludwik Fleck, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact

Ludwik Fleck
“Biology taught me that a field undergoing development should be investigated always from the viewpoint of its past development. Who today would study anatomy without embryology? In exactly the same way epistemology without historical and comparative investigations is no more than an empty play on words or an epistemology of the imagination.”
Ludwik Fleck, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact
