Naur is probably the closet computer scientist to my world view -- on many fronts. I'm reminded of his genuine attempt to go into neurobiology, and via William James, take seriously biological adaption and plasticity. I think over the last 20 years, engineers and mathematicians seem to have "taken over" computer science -- against the tradition of "scientific philosophy" which Naur represents.
