拉瑞．劳丹（Larry Laudan，1941-）是我比较喜欢的当代美国科学哲学家，他巅峰时期的学术生涯处于历史主义与后历史主义之间的过渡时期，应该说是一位很有原创性的哲学家，前两年我一直给哲学系科技哲学专业的研究生上科学哲学原著选读课，选的文本就是劳丹的《进步及其问题》（1977年），这本书可以看作是波谱尔、拉卡托斯与库恩之后科学哲学处于转型期的经典著作，他提出的研究传统概念很有特点，所有想学习科学哲学的朋友，俺极力推荐这本书是最值得仔细阅读的文本。国内马雷教授是研究劳丹哲学的专家，记得他曾送我一本他关于劳丹研究的著作，特此致谢。劳丹的著作在我的阅读经验中有两本被译为中文，记得我手头上还有一本英文的，好像是超越实证主义吧（记不太清了）。下面把我收集到的劳丹的一点材料纪录下来，目前劳丹在墨西哥的国立自治大学哲学系工作。
