A Natural History of Mathematics
In a series of papers read to the Cambridge Philosophical Society through the 1820s, the Cambridge mathematician George Peacock laid the foundation for a natural history of arithmetic that would tell a story of human progress from counting to modern arithmetic. The trajectory of that history, Peacock argued, established algebraic analysis as a form of universal reasoning that used empirically warranted operations of mind to think with symbols on …
The uses of analogy
Early Victorian analogical arguments were used to order the natural and the social world by maintaining a coherent collective experience across cultural oppositions such as the ideal and material, the sacred and profane, theory and fact. Maxwell's use of analogical argument in ‘On Faraday's lines of force’ was a contribution to that broad nineteenth-century discussion which overlapped theology and natural philosophy. I argue here that Maxwell und…
Fuller’s Folly, Kuhnian Paradigms, and Intelligent Design
Some of the most telling arguments against 'intelligent design' (ID), in the recent Dover Area School District 'Darwin trial', came from analyzing drafts of the school textbook, Of Pandas and People (Davis & Kenyon, 2005). The three 'astonishing points' that emerged from that analysis were: '(1) the definition for creation science in early drafts is identical to the definition of ID; (2) cognates of the word creation ... were deliberately and sys…
