Paul Lawrence Farber (March 7, 1944 - November 28, 2021) was a professor of the history of science at the Oregon State University. He wrote or edited eight books about the history of science as well as dozens of articles.[1] He was an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1]
Farber was born in New York City, his mother born to Jewish immigrants from Ukraine and his father born in a family of Latvian Jews. Farber grew up in Manhattan and then Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He took an interest in science and philosophy, tinkering with rockets and reading on science. He became interested in biology after attending a summer NSF school in Syracuse while in high school and joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1961, intending to study mecicine, but after receiving a BS in zoology in 1965 he shifted to philosophy and the history of science at Indiana University. His master's thesis in 1968 was on "Buffon and Newton's Science", and his PhD in 1970 was on "Buffon's Concept of Species." He joined Oregon State University in 1970 and contributed works on the history of ornithology, species concepts, race, and ethics.[2]
In 2010, he was elected president of the History of Science Society.[1] Oregon State University's special collections hold Farber's personal papers.[1]
