- W2565079912 abstract "At the beginning of the twentieth century, J.T. Merz reviewed the development of intellectual thought in Europe in the nineteenth century and argued that one of the changes that took place in the course of that century was the gradual universalization of scientific knowledge. 1 Ac cording to Merz, the decided national differences that one might have expected to find in Europe earlier, had been eradicated by improve ments in communication and transportation. Merz notwithstanding, for a number of years I have worked with the notion of national styles of science as a way of understanding, in part, how scientific innovations are received in different scientific cultures. The case I concentrated on was a comparison of the reception of Einstein's special theory of relativity in France, Germany, England and the United States in the years immediately following publication of the theory by Einstein in 1905. 2 In this paper I use the concept of national styles of science to examine how Einstein's special theory of relativity was introduced into the American scientific community, how the com munity initially responded to the theory and then how the theory has been assimilated since that time. One of the premises which underlies my analysis of the content of the theory of relativity is that the relationship between evidence and belief in science is precisely like the relationship between evidence and belief in other areas of human endeavor. If that is the case then national difference in science should be no more or no less pronounced than national differences in other spheres. Furthermore, if the social aspects of science, its organization and its relationship to other social institu tions are important to how a particular scientific theory is constructed and propagated, then differences in understanding in different countries should be related to differences in the social organization of science. I am, therefore, skeptical of Merz's claims Vis-iI-vis the disappearance of national styles. With regard to the theory of relativity, I am not suggesting that physicists in a given country acted together, lock-step," @default.
