Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to illustrate the need to remodel our studies of science, both philosophical and scientific, and together. I wish to illustrate a point by an examination of a case history. Let me state, first, that my history is going to be crude: the history I wish to oppose is crude because it is a popular prejudice; the history I wish to present is crude because it is only in outline there — I am no historian and I can do no better. Of course, my view of the history of science may be a prejudice too: I leave it for others to decide matters.
