Ludwig Fleck Prize

Ludwig Fleck Prize

The Ludwig Fleck Prize is awarded annually for the best book in the area of science and technology studies. It was created by the 4S Council (Society for the Social Studies of Science) in 1992. The Ludwik Fleck Prize is named after microbiologist Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961), author of "Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact" and an influence on the conception of the history of science developed by Thomas Kuhn.

History

The Ludwik Fleck Prize is named after microbiologist Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961), author of the "Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact". Fleck's case history of the discovery of the Wassermann reaction to syphilis, was originally published in German in 1935, and republished in English in 1979 after having been cited by Thomas Kuhn as an important influence on his own conception of the history of science. Both Fleck's history of discovery, and the history of his book's re-discovery, exemplify a view of progress that continues to inform research in the science and technology studies fields.
