ABSTRACT
The history of science, a well-established discipline of scholarly research, has existed for many years. George Sarton’s (1927) classic Introduction to the History of Science represents that early work. The scholarship initially concentrated on the physical and biological sciences but now includes social and behavioral sciences. The interest in and awareness of the history of social and behavioral sciences can be partially attributed to Kuhn’s pieces of 1962 and 1968. In addition, Watson’s (1960) call for a history of psychology has elicited much scholarly work from both historians and psychologists. Jaynes (1973) presented an elegant logic for conducting historical research, “to discover the historical structure under the logical surface of science, to understand the present, to be relevant to real questions, to liberate ourselves from the persuasions of the fashions” (p. xi).
