Many studies relate modern science to modern political and economic
thought. Using one shift in order to explain the other, however,
has begged the question of modernity's origins. New scientific and
political reasoning emerged simultaneously as controversial forms
of probabilistic reasoning. Neither could ground the other. They
both rejected logical systems in favor of shifting, incomplete, and
human-oriented forms of knowledge which did not meet accepted
standards of speculative science. This study follows their shared
development by tracing one key political stratagem for linking
human desires to the advancement of knowledge: the collaborative
wish list. Highly controversial at the beginning of the seventeenth
century, charismatic desiderata lists spread across Europe, often
deployed against traditional sciences. They did not enter the
academy for a century but eventually so shaped the deep structures
of research that today this once controversial genre appears to be
a musty and even pedantic term of art.
