摘要

本文介绍了一种新的科学行为者分析范畴:方法学家。这些演员的特点是他们倾向于继续探索他们的同龄人认为已经解决的科学问题。对于科学技术研究(STS)学者来说,方法学家是一个有用的行为者类别,因为他们揭示了被视为理所当然的科学中的偶然性和不确定性。识别方法学家对于STS分析人员在科学不再“正在形成”或几乎没有积极争议的时刻寻求进入科学的途径是有用的。研究方法学家对于寻求理解科学争议的起源的学者也很有用,特别是关于长期建立的方法,事实或前提的争议。

The Methodologists: a Unique Category of Scientific Actors
This essay introduces a new analytical category of scientific actors: the methodologists. These actors are distinguished by their tendency to continue to probing scientific objects that their peers consider to be settled. The methodologists are a useful category of actors for science and technology studies (STS) scholars to follow because they reveal contingencies and uncertainties in taken-for-granted science. Identifying methodologists is useful for STS analysts seeking a way into science in moments when it is no longer “in the making” or there is little active controversy. Studying methodologists is also useful for scholars seeking to understand the genesis of scientific controversies, particularly controversies about long-established methods, facts, or premises.
