Edward Osborne (E. O.) Wilson was an American biologist, zoologist, naturalist, ecologist, and entomologist, known for developing the field of #sociobiology, the primary forerunner of evolutionary psychology. Wilson also pioneered the field of island biogeography.
Wilson was well-known and almost universally loved and admired. In the introduction to the PBS documentary about Wilson, he was described as "one of America’s greatest living thinkers". The Sarasota Herald-Tribune called him "A Hero of the Planet." Leonardo DiCaprio tweeted that he was "the Darwin of the 20th Century." But more controversially, Wilson supported some racialist ideas that live on in the modern-day so-called human biodiversity movement, and some have long claimed Wilson's sociobiology amounts to #hereditarianism and biological determinism.

William #Whewell's notion of #Consilience is often mentioned in this connection. It was later picked up by #EOWilson.
#Peirce's #Pragmatism takes some pains to side-step the superficial dichotomy between #Objectivism or #Foundationalism and #Coherentism or #Consensualism.
Susan #Haack, for instance, tries to integrate them in her concept of #Foundherentism.
Well, that's enough isms for one day ...
