The history of the interpretation of prior scholarship: how earlier philosophers have been read and (mis)understood, appropriated or denounced, by their successors.
The reason [they go wrong] is that their ultimate principles are wrongly assumed; they had certain predetermined views, and were resolved to bring everything into line with them. . . . As though some principles did not require to be judged from their results, and particularly from their final issue. And that issue . . . in the knowledge of nature is the phenomena always and properly given by perception.
