    TÜRK TARIH KURUMU BELLETEN Cilt: XLVII Nisan 1983 Say~ : 186 GEORGE SARTON AND THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AYDIN SAYILI Professor of the History of Science, Director, Atatürk Culture Center Sarton, who was born in 1884* in Belgium, came to the United States in 1915. He gave a few lectures and courses during his first years in America, and in 1918 he became associated with the Carnegie Institution of Washington. He had already founded Isis in 1912, while in Belgium, and although its publication was interrupted during the four years of World War I, it began to reappear in the postwar years when Sarton established himself in the United States. Follow- ing a meeting of the American Historical Association in Boston, in December 1923, David Eugene Smith, Lynn Thorndike, and a group of other members organized the American History of Science Society, incorporating it in January 1924. The History of Science Society was created for the specific purpose of furthering the study of the history of science, and to support Sarton's work and especially his journal Isis.1 The first years in the United States were not easy for Sarton, but when in 1918 he was appointed research associate of the Carnegie * We have thus reached the centenary of Sarton's year of birth. /sis, yol. 6. 1924, pp. 4-8 ; /sis, yol. 7, 1925, p. 371; /sis, yol. 16, 1931, pp. 125-126; James B.

  • George Sarton and the History of Science
    GEORGE SARTON AND THE HİSTORY OF SCIENCE AYDIN SAYILI* Professor George Sarton was a fervent advocate of the thesis of a quite wide scope that scientific activity constitutes a common bond for the whole of humanity as the most reliable type of knowledge created by the human brain; as the basic element responsible for the progressive nature of culture and civilization: and as an endeavor responsible for the amelioration of human life. He consequently was strongly convinced of the importance Science must have had in the making of the destiny of mankind, and he was engaged in a concerted effort to persuade, the intellectual elite, of the great significance and relevance of the history of Science in our effort to grasp the majör factors responsible for the phenomenal growth of civiliza­ tion and as a constituent element bringing to the fore the inexorable force of history. It was a great ideal for him, consequently, to establish the history of Science securely in the universities as an independent academic discipline -with this difference, hovvever, that even if his ideas advanced in behalf of the role of Science should be reduced in certain respects, the plea for the importance of the history of science as an academic discipline would stili retain its validity and cogency. These ideas and thoughts are seen to be closely associated with the intellectual culture sector of general culture and civilization; i.e., with the sector of culture that is based upon, or closely tied up with, science, and, more generally, with relatively sound and reliable knowledge. intellectual culture is of course a subject of majör interest for our Atatürk Culture Çenter, and the history of science which has rapidly grown as an academic discipline in the universities of the Western World during the last half century is a very convenient avenue of approach for gaining acquaintance with science as a perennial human endeavor.

  • Sobre O Ensino Da História Das Ciências
    SOBRE O ENSINO DA HISTÓRIA DAS CIÊNCIAS. SIMÃO MATHIAS Disciplina: História das Ciências. A introdução do ensino da história das ciências em nossas esco- las superiores é muito recente. Mesmo nos Estados Unidos, o ensino dessa disciplina nas universidades, discretamente ministrado nas duas primeiras décadas deste século, começou a se disseminar a partir do centro criado em Harvard por George Sarton (1) após a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Na Europa, o cultivo desta disciplina tem velha tra- dição e evoluiu com o desenvolvimento da ciência e da filosofia. En- tretanto, nem sempre se reconheceu a importância desses estudos e de seu ensino nas universidades. Basta mencionar que, em 1865, Claude Bernard considerou a história da ciência como uma atividade inutil para o progresso científico: ... "A ciência, que representa aquilo que o homem apreen- deu, é essencialmente movei na sua expressão; ela varia e se aper- feiçoa à medida que os conhecimentos adquiridos aumentam. A ciência do presente acha-se, pois, necessariamente acima da do passado e não existe nenhuma espécie de razão para procurar um acréscimo da ciência moderna nos conhecimentos dos antigos. Suas teorias, necessariamente falsas, pois que não contem os fa- tos descobertos posteriormente, não trazem nenhum proveito real para as ciências atuais. Toda ciência experimental não pode, pois, realizar progresso senão avançando e desenvolvendo sua obra no futuro. Seria absurdo acreditar que se deveria procura-lo no estu- (1). — I. Bernard Cohen, in Critical Problems in the History of Scien- ce, ed. por Marshall Clagett, The University of Wisconsin Press, Madison, 1959, p. 241. — 640 — do dos livros que o passado nos legou! Não se pode encontrar nele senão a história do espírito humano, o que é inteiramente outra coisa" (2).
