Koncepcje Ludwika Flecka i ich zastosowanie do eukariotycznego cyklu komórkowego Abstrakt Koncepcje Ludwika Flecka (1896–1961), mikrobiologa, histo- ryka i filozofa medycyny, mogą być użyte do analizowania zja- wiska skostnienia idei naukowych. Zagadnienie to omówiono i zastosowano do dominujących koncepcji w rozumieniu cyklu podziału komórek eukariotycznych. Są to: (a) punkt kontrolny fazy G1 (tzw. punkt restrykcyjny) jako element regulacyjny cyklu komórkowego u ssaków; (b) punkt zmiany tempa wzrostu ko- mórek mający występować u drożdży rozszczepkowych (Schizo- saccharomyces pombe) oraz (c) postulat, że ekspresja znacznej liczby genów jest zależna od fazy cyklu komórkowego. Fleck zaproponował, że idee naukowe utrwalają się i trudno je zmienić, ponieważ krytyka aktualnych i dominujących modeli jest albo ignorowana, albo przemieniana na poparcie aktualnie obowiązującego modelu. Idea „kolektywu myślowego”, prowa- dząca do stabilizacji idei naukowych, jest centralnym tematem teorii Ludwika Flecka. Słowa kluczowe: Ludwik Fleck, G0, G1, punkt restrukcyjny, punkt zmia- ny tempa wzrostu, eukariotyczny cykl komórkowy, ekspresja genu w cyklu ko- mórkowym. 336 S.

Introduction The Continuum Model of eukaryotic cell-cycle control is now almost 38 years old.1 This alternative view of the cell cycle2 was actually gene- rated a number of years earlier based on studies of the bacterial cell cy- cle.3 Since its initial proposal, the Continuum Model has not made much headway against what may be called the G1-phase control model of the cell cycle, or better the “Standard Model” of the cell cycle, a model that is current, dominant, and widely-accepted by a broad consensus of re- searchers in the field of eukaryotic cell-cycle studies. It is important to understand how the Standard Model has remained so dominant despite the success of the alternative Continuum Model view of the cell cycle in explaining myriad published experimental results on the cell cycle. No matter how successful the experimental and theoretical work con- firming and supporting the Continuum Model, and no matter how many articles explaining and applying this alternative viewpoint have been published, there appears to be no change in the way people talk about, perceive, or understand, the control of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Why it is so difficult to effect a change in the consensus viewpoint? Why is the currently dominant view of cell-cycle control impervious to the strongest criticisms? Is it because the current model is right? Is it because the alternative analysis has not been clear or strongly present- ed? Is it because not enough allies have been enlisted to study and ex- plain the alternative viewpoint? Recently a friend4 gave me a copy of a small book with a strange title,5 written by a person whose name was unknown to me. The book was by Ludwik Fleck, a deceased microbiologist/immunologist of Polish origin, who thought a lot about why scientific ideas are recalcitrant to change. (See photo of Ludwik Fleck, Fig. 1). This book suddenly illuminated the problem, and explained why it is so difficult to displace a widely held idea, even if that idea may be 1 Cooper 1979; 1981. 2 Cooper, Helmstetter 1968; Helmstetter 1969; Helmstetter, Cooper 1968. 3 Helmstetter et al. 1968; Cooper 1997. 4 Dr. Lawrence Sturman, Head of the Watson Laboratories of the New York State Health Department in Albany, and a friend since Graduate School. 5 Fleck 1979.

Reprinted from: PHILWEB Bibliographical Archive. Theoretical resources off- and on-line; http://philweb.rlwclarke.net/topics/Nature/Fleck/Fleck.jpg incorrect. As will be seen below, Ludwik Fleck codified and described the processes whereby incorrect theories or ideas persist and are ren- dered resistant to change or modification. Some of Fleck’s concepts are presented here in order to explain why dominant ideas are so resistant to change. The ideas of Fleck will be discussed primarily in the context of some widely believed ideas related to the cell cycle that have been strongly criticized but the criticisms have not been widely recognized. 2. Meeting Ludwik Fleck Ludwik Fleck is mostly well known today, if one knows him at all, for his book, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact. This book was pub- lished originally in German in 19356 and remained relatively unknown – the original printing was merely 640 printed copies and only 200 of these were sold – until it was republished under the urging and men- torship of Thomas Kuhn, who is famous for his seminal book, Struc- ture of Scientific Revolutions(1962). 7 The English version of Fleck’s book 6 Fleck 1935. 7 However, this thesis does not apply to the German-speaking world – cf. foot- note 19, below. 338 S. Cooper SHS 16 (2017) | DOI: 10.4467/2543702XSHS.17.013.7714 Science beyond borders was published in 19798 with a translation from the original German by Fred Bradley and Thaddeus J. Trenn, with additional editing by Trenn and Robert K. Merton. Fleck died in Israel in 1961, having emigrated there from his native Poland after World War II. One may ask, “What can Ludwik Fleck con- tribute to the study of the mammalian cell cycle, since most of our cur- rent ideas on the cell cycle are of recent vintage and were developed years after Fleck’s book was published as well as years after Fleck’s death?” How can Fleck’s ideas, published in 1935, be applied to the cell cycle as they were written well before there was any understanding or knowledge of even the most basic concepts of the cell cycle, such as the existence of its different phases. The discussion presented below is an answer to this question, illustrating how Fleck’s analysis may be ap- plied to a contemporary scientific debate. To anticipate the conclusion of this presentation of Fleck’s work, the explanations of the difficulty of changing ingrained ideas are not roo- ted in science, or experiments, or even theories, but are related more to the sociology and psychology of science and thought. This concept will be explained using as examples some simple but problematic aspects of cell-cycle control, such as the restriction point, the rate change point in S. pombe, and gene expression at particular times during the division cycle. By concentrating on these simple ideas, I hope to disseminate, and perhaps popularize, some of Fleck’s most relevant ideas. The title of Fleck’s book, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact9 (hereafter referred to as GDSF) is somewhat odd. How can a “fact” develop? Aren’t facts solid and immutable? As one commentator is re- ported saying (from Thomas Kuhn’s forward to the translated edition10), “How can such a book be? A fact is a fact. It has neither genesis nor development.” What Fleck presented in his book is a discussion of the way in which scientific facts do “develop” and change over time. The scientific “fact” that Fleck discussed in his book is the development of ideas regarding the nature of syphilis, and in particular how the Was- serman test affected these ideas. The book is a masterful study of the 8 Fleck 1979. 9 Fleck 1935; 1979. 10 Fleck 1979, p. viii. S.

Ilana Löwy (CERMES; Paris; [email protected]) ORCID: 0000-0001-6963-0578 Fleck in Buchenwald In a 1948 Ludwik Fleck published an article “On experiments on human beings” which discussed the regulation of such experiments (Fleck 1948, 1052-1054). He pu- blished this text shortly after testifying at the Nuremberg trial about experiments which involved deliberate infection of healthy people with typhus (Flecks’ testimony at the knowledge of German war research on this disease. He spent the last part of World War I.G. Farben trial in Nuremberg, February 12, 1948/2007). Fleck himself has a first-hand II in Block 50 in the Buchenwald camp, where he and other prisoners produced a typhus vaccine for the German army. Block 50 was in the immediate vicinity of the infamous block 46, where Nazi doctors – the same who were responsible for the vaccine produc- tion – conducted experiments on human beings. “Experiments” may be an inaccurate word. Buchenwald was a criminal endeavor of a criminal state in an insane world whe- re no normal rules applied. The so-called “medical experiments” conducted in Block 46 had very distant relation to medical research, and very strong links with mass murder. On the other hand, the insane world of the concentration camp contained ele- ments which linked it to a more “conventional” science. Nazi doctors who conduc- ted barbarous experiments on prisoners aspired to a conventional professional ca- employed absolutely unacceptable means (read, assassination), but might have still reer.

  • Conventions, Styles of Thinking and Relativism
    S t udia Philosophica Wratislaviensia Supplementary Volume, English Edition 2012 KRZYSZTOF SZLACHCIC University of Wrocław Conventions, Styles of Thinking and Relativism. Some Remarks on the Dispute between I. Dąmbska and L. Fleck* Abstract My comments are focused on the debate between Izydora Dąmbska and Ludwik Fleck. In the course of their debate, which took place in the 1930’s, they discussed some basic issues of epistemology, focusing on the problems of the sources of scientific knowledge, objectivity of knowledge, and truth. The aim of the paper is to place their debate in a the historical context and to demonstrate the novelty of Fleck’s arguments, especially in comparison with Thomas S. Kuhn’s later contribution. I also examine the dominant interpretations of Fleck’s theory of knowledge, as well as the reasons for which his philosophical ideas, especially Entstehung und Entwicklung einer wissenschaftlichen Tatsache (1935) have fallen into the philosophical obliv- ion. I argue that Fleck’s views, although innovative, were less radical than it is commonly thought. My comments focus on the polemic that ensued in the 1930s between Izydora Dąmbska and Ludwik Fleck. The authors involved in it either directly or indirectly referred to the fundamental questions of the theory of cognition: the question of the sources of scientific knowledge, objectivity of knowledge (its communicabil- ity), relative nature of scientific knowledge, truth. The small total volume of texts which directly referred to the views of the adversaries as well as the place where the dispute occurred (Lvov, a geographically peripheral part of the “civilised world” at the time) could suggest that this was just a minor episode in the history of thought, not worth mentioning.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Two Sociologies of Knowledge. L. Fleck—T
    Stefan Symotiuk (Lublin) TWO SOCIOLOGIES OF KNOWLEDGE. L. FLECK — T. BILIKIEWICZ CONTROVERSY Tadeusz Bilikiewicz, a scholar now somewhat forgotten, was in the 1930s active as an sociologist of knowledge. In 1931 he published a book entitled Jan Jonston, 1603—1677, Żywot i działalność lekarska (His Life and Medical Activity), Warsaw 1931, and a year later Die Embryologie im Zeitalter des Barock und des Rococo, Leipzig 1932. He was also author of many articles, still to be properly investigated. His theory of knowledge he himself called 'perspectivism'. In the Summer issue of the journal 'Przegląd Współczesny' of 1939, an argument was published between Fleck and Bilikiewicz which was overlooked by those concerned because of the outbreak of war, and which has not been taken note of by the bibliographies of Fleck's work. Yet this is an extremely interesting polemic, considering that Bilikie- wicz was an exponent of 'the naive epistemology' seeing the relation between subject and object as being of a 'reflective' nature and accepting only the 'heuristic' influence of environment upon science. He flatly rejected Fleck's conceptions describing it as subjective idealism, agno- sticism, relativism. My intention here is to recall briefly that polemic. I. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DISPUTE L. Fleck began to be interested in epistemology soon after his stay in Vienna when he published his Zur Krise der 'Wirklichkeit'i. Still he main phase of his work was in 1935 when his book appeared together 1 'Die Naturwissenschaften' Vol. 17:1929, 23, p. 425—430. 570 S.

  • Ludwik Fleck And His 'Thought Collectives'
    Ludwik Fleck and His 'Thought Collectives' 11–14 April 2019 Program Venue: Center for Urban History of East Central Europe The workshop Ludwik Fleck and His 'Thought Collectives' aims at bringing together a person and the city/places/spaces, Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961) and Lviv where he was born, studied, worked, debated, contemplated, and wrote his philosophical and medical texts. It is focusing on the philosophic legacy of Fleck and on the historical context that generated his ideas. Workshop participants explore in details the social landscape of the interwar Lviv where different ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups co-existed and co-created; where various art communities and scientific collectives worked together. They trace changes and adaptations of his legacy in various disciplines and geographies. This scientific meeting will actualize the legacy of Ludwik Fleck, and open opportunities for its further application in the academic and extra-academic contexts.

Collier Graduate Program in Science and Technology Studies Chair: Joseph C. Pitt (ABSTRACT) This thesis examines the rhetorical, analytical and critical efficacy of reflexivity and sociological theory as means for reconciling the normative and descriptive functions of the rhetoric of science. In attempting to define a separate research domain within Science Studies, rhetoric of science has borrowed Strong Program and constructivist principles and descriptions of scientific practice from the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge (SSK) as a basis for analyzing scientific discourse. While epistemological claims in the social sciences have been considered inherently self-referential and subject to reflexive analysis and critique, rhetoricians have generally taken these claims on face value and applied them to a treatment of scientific practice. Accordingly, rhetoricians have maintained a natural ontological attitude to sociological theories and descriptions supporting an understanding of scientific discourse as implicitly rhetorical. Recently, however, the concept of "rhetoric" in rhetoric of science has come under scrutiny. This thesis will connect arguments involving the relation of the "irreducibly social" nature of science, to a concept of scientific discourse as rhetorical "without remainder,” to the philosophical commitments of reflexive analysis.

  • Re-Thinking Ludwik Fleck's Concept of The
    1 How archaeological communities think: re-thinking Ludwik Fleck’s concept of the thought-collective according to the case of Serbian archaeology Monika Milosavljevi´c Both thinking and facts are changeable, if only because changes in think- ing manifest themselves in changed facts. Conversely, fundamentally new facts can be discovered only through new thinking. (Fleck, 1981: 50–51; translated by Fred Bradley and Thaddeus J. Trenn). Introduction Serbian archaeology offers fertile ground in which to apply Fleck’s con- cepts of thought-collectives and thought-style.1 To this end, this chapter seeks to delve into Fleck’s theories on knowledge production to study how they function in practice in the history of archaeology, as based on empirical data consisting of various texts and citation relations that are used to track a particular thought-collective in a clearer, more visual manner. In doing this, a further aim of this chapter is to introduce new theoretical tools for the history of ideas as well as how they may be implemented as inherent to specific methodological strategies. Kuhn’s concept of a paradigm is limited in its applications since its broad expanse proves too unwieldy to apply to all aspects of a localised phenomenon. Paradigm shift is an appropriate term to describe significant changes that encompass totalities, but not for analysing the specifics of one non-generalised change (Kuhn, 1970). As a matter of consequence, in order to take an initial step into researching the history of localised ideas (such as the history of archaeology), it is necessary to find an approach adequate to understanding the sociology of knowl- edge production and archaeological epistemology.

  • Introduction
    Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science, 1 (2016) 3 1-45 ISSN 2526 -2270 www.historiographyofscience.org © The Author 2016 — This is an open access article Dossier Ludwik Flec k Tadeusz Bilikiewicz’s Background in the debate with Ludwik Fleck Artur Koterski 1 Abstract: One of the factors that adversely influenced the worldwide reception of Fleck was the rather narrow critical interest that his ideas had aroused in Poland. Apart from a few reviews of his book (1935), only two polemics were published before WWII, and these likewise fell into oblivion. The philosophical views of one of those polemists, Tadeusz Bilikiewicz, shared the same fate. Since an acquaintance with Bilikiewicz’s background 31 would seem to be a necessary condition for a (full) understanding of his controversy with Fleck, the aim of this paper is to sketch his views on the history and sociology of science, and to clarify certain errors regarding the facts of his life. Keywords: Tadeusz Bilikiewicz; history of medicine; sociology of science; realism; constructivism Received: 30 August 2016. Accepted: 30 October 2016. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Bilikiewicz is mainly remembered by his psychiatry students, and a fairly narrow group of medical historians and philosophers — predominantly Fleck scholars — for a dispute with Ludwik Fleck, which began in 1939, following Fleck’s critical remarks on Bilikiewicz’s approach to history. As his polemics with Fleck attracted attention, his contribution has been invariably used as a pretext to scrutinize and explain Fleck’s views. Accordingly, Bilikiewicz’s position, as formulated in his book on the history of embryology (1932), and his numerous papers from the 1930s, have been ignored and remain virtually unknown.
