The history of science can be better understood against the background of a history of knowledge comprising not only theoretical but also intuitive and practical knowledge. This widening of scope necessitates a more concise definition of the concept of knowledge, relating its cognitive to its material and social dimensions. The history of knowledge comprises the history of institutions in which knowledge is produced and transmitted. This is an essential but hitherto neglected aspect of cultural evolution. Taking this aspect into account one is led to the concept of extended evolution, which integrates the perspectives of niche construction and complex regulative networks. The paper illustrates this concept using four examples: the emergence of language, the Neolithic revolution, the invention of writing and the origin of mechanics.

从科学史到知识史——来回

在不仅包括理论知识而且还包括直觉和实践知识的知识史的背景下,可以更好地理解科学史。这种范围的扩大需要对知识概念进行更简洁的定义,将其认知与其物质和社会维度联系起来。知识史包括生产和传播知识的机构的历史。这是文化进化的一个重要但迄今为止被忽视的方面。考虑到这一方面,导致了扩展进化的概念,它整合了生态位构建和复杂监管网络的观点。本文用四个例子来说明这个概念:语言的出现、新石器时代的革命、文字的发明和力学的起源。
