We have summarized the essential of this book by the author."The philosophy of science without a history of science is empty; the history of science without philosophy of science is blind "(Kant). The relationship between historiography and philosophy of science is profound:1) The philosophy of science provides normative methodologies in terms of which the historian reconstructs the "internal history" and thus offers a rational explanation for the development of knowledge.2) Two competing methodology can be evaluated with the help of history.3) Any rational reconstruction of history has to be complemented by an "external history".
