United States[edit]
Academic study of the history of science as an independent discipline
was launched by
George Sarton at Harvard with his book
Introduction
to the History of Science (1927) and the
Isis journal (founded in 1912). Sarton exemplified
the early 20th century view of the history of science as the history of
great men and great ideas. He shared with many of his contemporaries a
Whiggish belief in history as a record of the advances and delays in the
march of progress. The history of science was not a recognized subfield
of American history in this period, and most of the work was carried
out by interested scientists and physicians rather than professional
historians.
[28]
With the work of
I. Bernard Cohen at Harvard, the history of science became an
established subdiscipline of history after 1945.
