摘　　要：艾伯特·厄舍尔,是著名的经济史家,也是第一位美国技术史家。在20世纪前半叶,他对技术发明产生等问题具有独到而深刻的见解。他的发明思想涉及反对发明先验论的观点和机械过程理论,他第一次引入格式塔心理学理论来解释发明过程中的顿悟,并且提出发明是累积综合的过程。然而,他深邃的思想没有得到后人的呼应和支持,今天重新挖掘厄舍尔的技术发明思想具有重要的理论与现实意义。As a famous economic historian and the first American historian of technology, Abbott P. Usher raised some unique and profound thoughts about the problems of technological invention in the first half of the 20th century, which include criticisms on the invention transcendentalism and the mechanistic process theory. It is Usher who introduces the theory of Gestalt psychology to explain insight learning in the process of invention and argues that invention is a process of cumulative synthesis. Unfortunately, his thoughts have not been echoed and supported. It is of both theoretical and practical significance to reevaluate his thoughts of technological invention under the current situation.
