The Emergence of Experimental Philosophy, PN-II-ID-PCE-2011-3-0719, and partly by the NWO Veni grant Manipulating Spiritual Matter. How Did Early Modern Science Become Experimental? I would like to thank Mădălina Giurgea, the participants to the Second Workshop on Contingency (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, May 2015), and the editors of this volume for the very useful comments on the first draft of this paper.
