The discovery of a
natural phenomenon, historical evidence, or any such fact which is otherwise
obscure or unknown not only expands the breadth of our view of reality but also
aids in identifying its extents. But what does the process of discovery actually
entail? It is often associated with novelty, the pursuit of the new and fantastical;
for, after all, it is a discovery of that which lies outside the current purview
of the sciences (the word here intended in its broadest definition as a field of
knowledge – best described by its German designation, Wissenschaft – rather
than an exclusively ‘natural science’). Certainly, a discovery is ‘new’ by virtue of
its definition, but ‘newness’ is not only associated with an epistemological break
rather also carries a temporal connotation, such that the old and established ways
of the past almost stand in contradiction to the guiding project of discovery,
slowly revealing our path into the future.
