Abstract
Philosopher Stephen Toulmin talks about the ways in which terminology and meaning change over time in the sciences. He gives the example of Leibniz insisting that "...the processes of the physical world should be mechanical." Professor Toulmin contends that, "...if you confronted Leibniz with his definition of what a machine is with a computer...his response would be, 'that's not what I call a machine'."
