The object of this note is to provide a prosopographical analysis of the eighteenth-century scientific community with a view to explaining the gradual breakdown over the course of that century of the traditional general categories of 'natural philosophy' and 'natural history', and their replacement by a wide range of separate scientific disciplines.
本笔记的目的是对18世纪的科学界进行人物志分析,以期解释在那个世纪里,“自然哲学”和“自然历史”这些传统通用范畴是如何逐渐瓦解,又是如何被众多独立的科学学科所取代的。
