Norwood Russell Hanson (August 17, 1924 – April 18, 1967) was an American philosopher of science.
Hanson was a pioneer in advancing the argument that observation is theory-laden — that observation language and theory language are deeply interwoven — and that historical and contemporary comprehension are similarly deeply interwoven.
His single most central intellectual concern was the comprehension and development of a logic of discovery.
