Ludwik Fleck
Ludwik Fleck (July 11, 1896 Lviv-June 5, 1961 Ness Ziona) was an Israeli philosopher.
Fleck was born in Lviv, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he pursued his education in medicine at the German University of Strasbourg. He later served in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I and became a doctor as a result. After the war, he returned to Lviv to work in microbiology and immunology.
Fleck is best known for his work in the philosophy of science, particularly his concept of thought collectives and his theory of the social construction of knowledge. He argued that scientific knowledge is not objective but is constructed through social interactions, and that different cultural and historical contexts produce different thought collectives with their own scientific reality.
In 1935, Fleck was imprisoned by the Gestapo for his socialist political views and was eventually sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. He was later released, and in 1938 he immigrated to Palestine, which was then under British mandate. Fleck worked as a physician in Palestine, and later in Israel, until his death in Ness Ziona in 1961.
