DESCRIPTION:The central theme of my lecture is the
  way in which scholars throughout the ages have so
 ught to identify reasoning patterns in disciplines
  like philology, art theory, musicology, linguisti
 cs, literary theory and historiography. What rules
  can we apply if we wish to determine whether a ta
 le about the past is trustworthy? By what criteria
  are we to distinguish consonant from dissonant mu
 sical intervals? What rules jointly describe all p
 ossible grammatical sentences in a language? How c
 an modern digital methods enhance pattern-seeking 
 in the humanities? I contend that the hallowed opp
 osition between the sciences (mathematical, experi
 mental, dominated by universal laws) and the human
 ities (allegedly concerned with unique events and 
 hermeneutic methods) is a mistake born of a myopic
  failure to appreciate the way of reasoning that l
 ies at the heart of this inquiry.

 worthy? By what criteria are we to distinguish con
