Prix Ludwik-Fleck

Le prix Ludwik-Fleck (The Ludwig Fleck Prize) est un prix d'excellence créé en 1992 et attribué par la Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) au meilleur ouvrage s'inscrivant dans le domaine des études des sciences et technologies.

Ce prix tire son nom du microbiologiste et sociologue polonais Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961), auteur de Genèse et développement d'un fait scientifique (1935) qui a eu une influence notamment sur la conception de l'histoire des sciences développée par Thomas Samuel Kuhn, l'épistémologie constructiviste, ainsi que sur divers domaines de recherches tels la sociologie des sciences, la sociologie de la connaissance scientifique, les science studies ou la construction sociale des technologies.
