科学争论为什么而战——内外史消解后的科学争论

科学史学家以科学争论的目的不同将其划归为内外史。科学内史更加注重科学本身的规律，提倡科学具有主动性和自主性。而科学外史指科学自身发展之外的因素，如社会思潮、社会制度以及各种社会事件对科学发展的影响。随着20世纪60年代SSK的兴起，他们以“强纲领”为科学知识的“社会学解释”，提出新的研究思路，试图消解内外史的界限。那么，科学内外史是否可以真正的消解？那么这种消解后的科学争论又在为什么而争呢？

What are the Scientific Disputes for？ --The Scientific Disputes after the Elimination of Internal History and the External History

Historians of science divided the history of science into the internal history and the external history according to the different purposes of scientific disputes. The internal history of science pays more attention to the rules of science itself. It proposes that science should be active and initiative. While the extended history of science refers to the factors beyond the self - development of science, for example, the influences of ideological trends of science, of social system, and of social events, and so on. With the rise of SSK in the 1960s, they proposed ＂Strong Program＂ as ＂Sociology Explanation＂ for scientific knowledge.

Then, can the interstory and the external history of science really be eliminated？ And, after the elimination, what will scientific disputes be for？
