Scientific Biographies

This book presents an innovative look at 'scientific biographies,' moving away from the biographism that often faces criticism in traditional literary and related studies. Eschewing simplistic psychological interpretations, it introduces a novel framework that emphasizes the dynamic interaction between the pursuit of knowledge and the biographical, historical, and contextual factors that shape a researcher's unofficial life story. This creates a wide array of possibilities, as this tension can express itself in various forms. Additionally, the book emphasizes examples where self-reflection becomes essential in the quest for knowledge, highlighted in areas such as reflexive anthropology and the reflexive shift in contemporary humanities. "Scientific Biographies" examines these diverse aspects, offering a thorough investigation of this pioneering context.
