One of Habermas' many merits was to be the first to understand the reactionary form of postmodernism behind Adorno and Horkheimer's unduly influential Dialectics of Enlightenment. No thinker ever did so much to restore the cause of reason. #philsci #hps #philtech #sts #metascience

John Herschel was born OTD in 1792. His 1831 Preliminary Discourse launched a flowering of reflection on the aims and methods of science among British thinkers that was so rich and influential that Charles Sanders Peirce would later dub it “the Age of Method.” 🧪#HistSTM #PhilSci 🐋🌱

"Philosophers of science have much to learn from the history and philosophy of art and artistic representation."
Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research.
