Abstract
(One of the recurrent foci in David Hull’s research has been the character of history, especially history of science. He has, indeed, been an eloquent defender of enlightened whiggism in history of science during decades when, for all the wrong reasons, whiggism has gone out of fashion. At the heart of the debates between anti-whigs and people like David Hull has been a disagreement about whether the past has a legitimate justificatory role in contemporary debates about science. I have written this essay for this volume as an effort to sketch put a picture of one important kind of justification which the history of science has often been expected to provide.)
