DESCRIPTION:In the decades around 1900\, habits were scientific. Psycholog
 ists saw mental habits as the intersection of an evolutionary past and an 
 experimental future\, while neurologists thought that habit signaled the m
 ind's bodily roots. This talk explores the consequences of this attention 
 to habit in the emerging human sciences\, including the idea that science 
 itself was (or could be) habitual. The sciences of habit helped recast the
  scope of scientific thinking and the reach of moral judgement\, as issues
  of choice\, willpower and belonging were naturalized in new ways.
