Ludwik Fleck: a message to start a new discourse
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
The goal of the present article is to initiate a series of papers on Ludwik Fleck’s theories of medical cognition and their contribution to contemporary research on science. I would like, however, to begin with the last statement, in which he signaled, almost half a century ahead of time, the current issues concerning scientific discourse in the socio-cultural dimension.
