But worst of anl, philosophers tend to use history of science to illustrate their own views on the nature of science, rather than treating it inductively. Popperians such as Agassi and Berkson view histories of science as good places to introduce conjectures to be refuted by later workers. Imre Lakatos has even gone so far as to state that history of science should be written as it should have taken place, given a particular philosophy of science, rather than as it actually did take place: One way to indicate discrepancies between history and its rational reconstruction to relate the internal history in the text, and indicate in the footnotes how actual history 'misbehaved' in the light of its rational reconstruction. 2 Once Lakatos' position translated out of the controversial idiom which he invariably prefers, it does not sound so radical and ahistorical.
