History

Cornelis W. Opzoomer (1821-1892) was professor of philosophy from 1846 until 1889. He was also an influential jurist and translator. Opzoomer was one of the first advocates in the Netherlands of the empirical, positivist approach to scientific truth. He explicitly addressed the core questions of science.
