David Hull (1935-2010)

Historians and philosophers of biology, and anyone who is familiar with Darwin historiography, will know who David Hull is, or know of his books Science as a Process: An Evolutionary Account of the Social and Conceptual Development of Science (Science and Its Conceptual Foundations series) and Darwin and His Critics: The Reception of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by the Scientific Community. John Wilkins at Evolving Thoughts shared the news today that Hull has died. John also wrote about Hull’s philosophy. John Pieret had posted many quotes from Darwin and His Critics on Thoughts in a Haystack.
