[公告]科學史讀書會HS Reading Seminar置底
親愛的科學史與STS愛好者：
還記得Hacking提到的數學家Netz嗎？
是不是在夜深人靜時，你曾想用功的搞清楚他到底寫了什麼，好追上哈金的思緒呢？
每天讀孔恩讀得很煩嗎？
其實你心中更想了解神秘的Lakato和Mulkay? 或是其他的科哲大師?
厭倦了所有眾人讀爛的paper，你喜歡發掘無人問津的天才作品?
想不想嘗試新鮮的異國風情? 某處默默無聞卻閃耀著創意的科學史觀點？
或是你是古典和經典的擁護者，想要追循最古老的科學文獻與哲學？
不但喜歡牛頓的原理，更想讀虎克的顯微鏡圖譜？偶爾來點亞里斯多德的物理學？！
科學史讀書會(徐光台、Alex老師導讀) 時間：下週一 4-6點pm 教育館 208B
(意者請向版主報名，或是當天下午自動出現在會場也可以。)
讀書會形式自由。
除了當天的導讀者要讀過這本書，其他參與者可以旁聽並提問，
不需先閱讀完全部文本。
會席間提供可口的咖啡、點心，
還有俄國話劇社第一把交椅 "Mr. Alex Volkov" Live Show！
他的俄式英文以及史恩康納來般的睿智鬍子，將為觀眾帶來美好的下午。
晚上還有機會經常和老師聚餐，進行近距離接觸喲！
歡迎大家攜家帶眷，闔家觀賞。下週一我們會先進行討論閱讀的材料和進行方式。
讀書會內容如下：

The first meeting will take place on Monday, November 26,
from 4 pm to 6 pm, in the Center for General Education, room 208B.
History of Science Reading Seminar
We propose to begin a new activity for graduate and undergraduate students
interested in History of Science: a Reading Seminar.
The reason to open the Seminar is that students will be able to learn more
about the field and to discuss the materials they read on regular basis.
This activity will not be credited, and participation in the Seminar is on
voluntary basis. Normally, two professors (Hsu and Volkov) will be present
during the sessions to introduce reading materials and to moderate the
discussions.
We suggest that the work will concern four types of materials.
1. “Classics of Science.”
This category includes the books written by the famous scientists and
philosophers of the past, such as, for example, the works of Plato,
Aristotle, Stoics, Euclid, Newton, ancient and medieval Chinese authors,etc.
In the most cases the reading will include the work with the translations
(however, the original texts could also be used) and will include detailed
discussions of the texts.
2. “Outstanding works on History and Philosophy of Science.”
This category will include the influential works not included in the
courses on History and History of Science. The examples here can be numerous.
To give but one: the Tsing Hua classes often focus on the works of T. Kuhn,
while ignoring other philosophers of science of the same calibre
(for example, I. Lakatos). Some works (such as the classical work of
B. Hessen on Newton’s Principia, or the book of Sokal) cannot be even found
in Tsing Hua library.
3. “Unknown authors.”
This is rather an experimental part of the program. We conjecture that
there could be cases when the work of a historian or philosopher of science
was not duly appreciated in his own time, and we can thus try to re-read
her/his works in hope to find some interesting ideas.
4. “New publications.”
When talking in Tsing Hua on November 12, 2007, Ian Hacking mentioned
the work of R. Netz as one of the major contributions in the study on the
Elements of Euclid. However, it is quite likely that not many of those
present in the audience were aware what Hacking was talking about, since
the recent Netz’s book on the shaping of deductive method has not been
purchased by Tsing Hua’s library. So we would like to systematically
discuss new publications (both books and articles) on the history and
philosophy of science.
