With rare exceptions, the emotions have received little attention from historians of science. Indeed, for the modern period, interest in the field has moved in the opposite direction, as it were, toward a history of objectivity. This essay addresses methodological and historical assumptions about the nature of emotions and their place in science that limit our engagement with emotions as historical objects and agents. It outlines several approaches that situate the emotions within scientific practice, including the practices of objectivity and of the scientific self.
除了极少数例外情况,科学史学家很少关注情感。事实上,就现代时期而言,对该领域的兴趣可谓朝着相反的方向发展,即朝着客观性的历史发展。本文探讨了关于情感本质及其在科学中的地位的方法论和历史假设,这些假设限制了我们将情感视为历史对象和动因的研究。它概述了几种将情感置于科学实践中的方法,包括客观性实践和科学自我实践。
