It is known that "practical chemistry is as old as thinking humanity, engaged in production."(Menshutkin, 1937, p. 6).Foundations of chemistry have been laid in the observations and practice of "specialists" in processing metals, jewellers, potters and others.A good characterisation of practical chemistry has been provided by J. Bernal.He writes: "The process of smelting ores, of purifying metals, of colouring them, of adding enamels-all involve complex chemical reactions that had to be learned by many trials, mostly unsuccessful.The good results were embodied in recipes which had to be carefully handed down and scrupulously followed."(Bernal, 1954, p. 85) In chemistry, the first cognitive level, that of sensory-practical knowledge, corresponds to this characterisation (knowledge is determined, or remains knowledge merely with respect to sensory, practical situation: that is-skill).Fixed in the recipes were practical procedures and all that was observable in the execution of transformations of substances.J. Bernal has also interesting insights into the genesis of rational thought.He writes, … the possibility of rational thought for man begins in his relation to his physical environment.With a very simple device like a lever, for example, it is possible to know in advance what is going to happen at one end when you move the other.It was on the basis of this eye-hand co-ordination that the rational science of mechanics first grew up.It was in this field, and in 1

前言

The first attempt to bring together the historians of science from the Baltic States took place in Riga in 1958. Prof. Pauls Stradiņš (1896–1958) initiated and organised a joint meeting for historians of science from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania under the supervision of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. A program for future joint activities was developed, and the tradition of joint conferences—the Baltic Conference on History of Science (BCHS)—in each country followed. In 1991, the Baltic Association of the History and Philosophy of Science (BAHPS), uniting historians and philosophers of science of independent Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, took over organising the BCHS. The article aims to present an overview of the published results of the conference, which is partly based on the annotated bibliography (1958–1985) of the conference. The authors analyse the subject, dissemination and tradition of the BCHS, and discuss the role of academic institutions in organising the events. Since the overview was inspired by a decision to gather a complete set of books of conference abstracts, it also resulted in recommendations for conference organisers. Between 1958 and 2019, twenty-nine conferences were organised and 2,880 papers were presented. The next conference will take place in Finland in 2022. The main ideas of the article were presented at the 26th International Congress on History and Philosophy of Science in Prague in 2021.

In all epistemological studies one has to employ, in one way or another, the concepts of “sensuous and rational knowledge,” “empirical and theoretical knowledge,” “essence and phenomenon.” But, unfortunately, the logical relationships of these concepts are not understood unambiguously, which prevents many epistemological issues from being examined with sufficient theoretical clarity.

Etymologically, pseudoscience means false science. The term is often explained as referring to claims or teachings that are presented as scientific but are in fact not scientific. Any understanding of the notion of pseudoscience must therefore build on both an understanding of what science is and a clarification of what forms of errors or misrepresentations make a statement pseudoscientific instead of scientific.

On the Transition to the Theoretical Stage of Cognition (on the Example of the History of the Study of Chemical Affinity)

论认知向理论阶段的转变（以化学亲和力研究史为例）

In this article, I present my view that only through value conflicts can we become aware of the relevant values influencing science. The discussion about values in science has been ongoing for the past decades; unfortunately, a crucial part of the discussion—value awareness—has not been addressed. This article tries to bridge this gap by focusing on the problem of value recognition through analyzing several cases of value conflicts. I will show that unless some value conflict occurs, the values influencing science remain invisible to us. This means that to discuss the relevant influences of values in science, we need to focus on value conflicts occurring in science. Only then can we recognize the values influencing science and have a meaningful debate about them. This article is the first foray into the issue of value recognition and can help clarify some unaddressed issues in the values in science debate.
