My interest in the philosophy of science began at the age of 18, noticing a book in the library by Gerald Holton, a popularization of science, from there a year later, in my sophomore year: Physics and Philosophy by Werner Heisenberg and then I took the Phi. Sci. course offered by the phil. dept. at UF beginning of my junior year taught by a strange professor Marilyn Zweig (woman with mobile pendant earrings and modernistic designed blouses and skirts like modern art who puffed on her cigarette intermittently as she spoke; I looked her up on the internet a few years ago, wouldn’t you know it, she went into the feminism thing). I was innocent of Thomas Kuhn’s Revolutions in Science until 2nd yr of graduate school, whatever, good book, btw, good idea, anyway, finally got my PhD in physics and kept up my interest in it on my own. In actual fact, it began when I was 13, our neighbor gave me that book Ideas and Opinions, by Albert Einstein, a collection of essays, remininiscences, and lectures, and that lit a fire under me; whatever, my forte transitioned from organic chemistry (cool subject, very cool subject) to math, and because of that, a leaning toward physics. We all have our own life pathways.
