2.1 Was the Concept of Objectivity Invented in the mid-1800s? Part 1: Intro/Contextalization and Truth to Nature

Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all/Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know

-John Keats, Ode On A Grecian Urn, 1819

“The great tragedy of Science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.”

-Thomas Huxley, 1870

"My work has always tried to unite the true with the beautiful and when I had to choose one or the other I usually chose the beautiful.”

-Hermann Weyl, 1885–1955

“Objectivity came to seem at once stranger - more specific, less obvious, more recently historical - and deeper, etched into the very act of scientific seeing, than we had ever suspected.”

-Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison, 2007
