Abstract Errol Morris has claimed that Kuhn threw an ashtray at him during a dispute about some matter in the history of science. Morris also claims that Kuhn threw him out of the graduate program at Princeton for disagreeing with him. I argue that Morris’ attack on Kuhn contains some degree of hyperbole. Further, I present evidence that shows that Morris is mistaken about key events during this period. In fact, Kuhn was supportive of Morris in his pursuit of a career in the history of science.

托马斯·库恩、夸张和烟灰缸:莫里斯记忆错误的证据

摘要 Errol Morris 声称库恩在与科学史上的某些问题发生争执时向他扔了一个烟灰缸。莫里斯还声称库恩因为不同意他而将他从普林斯顿的研究生课程中赶了出去。我认为莫里斯对库恩的攻击包含某种程度的夸张。此外,我提出的证据表明,莫里斯对这一时期的关键事件有误。事实上,库恩支持莫里斯在科学史上的职业生涯。
