  1. Thomas Kuhn was born OTD in 1922.

    Historicity—over revolutions and paradigms—was core to his thought.

    “History, if viewed as a repository for more than anecdote or chronology, could produce a decisive transformation in the image of science by which we are now possessed.”

  3. Vilfredo Pareto was born OTD in 1848. His most famous quote is:

    "Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself."

    But he never said it: quoteinvestigator.com/2024/08/02/f...

  28. Babbage would later use a model of the Difference Engine to show that what we perceive as miracles are better understood as consequences of laws of nature we don’t fully understand. He proposed the origin of new species of plants and animals as an example of this. #HistSTM 🐋🌱🧪 #PhilSci

  32. Stewart pointed to Smith’s account of the development of human languages as an instance, but the epithet might equally be applied to Smith’s account of the evolution of moral principles out of our innate human faculty of “sympathy” with our fellows. 🐋🌱🦋🦫🧠🧪 #HistSTM #PhilSci #Evobio

  34. Adam Smith was baptized OTD in 1723. A frequent explanatory practice was what Dugald Stewart called “conjectural history”—a narrative, fictive in its particulars, that is somehow truer in capturing the general processes by which certain phenomena tend to unfold. 🐋🌱🦋🦫🧠🧪 #HistSTM #PhilSci #Evobio
