Fleck's social theory of science refers to many ethnological examples in order to explain how collective thinking and acting constructs certain systems of belief and knowing. According to Fleck, scientific concepts and practices are comparable with magic terms and ceremonies. This essay aims to identify the ethnological sources that Fleck's epistemology is using. By confronting them with other relativistic theories that were circulating in Lemberg during the interwar period, the originality of Fleck's own position can be contextualized and explained as well.
弗莱克的科学社会理论引用了许多民族学实例,以解释集体思维和行为如何构建特定的信仰和认知体系。按照弗莱克的说法,科学概念和实践可与魔法用语及仪式相类比。本文旨在找出弗莱克认识论所采用的民族学渊源。通过将这些渊源与两次世界大战之间在利沃夫流传的其他相对论理论相对照,弗莱克自身立场的独特性也能够得以背景化呈现并得到解释。
