My Intention Is Not To Replace One

Language Became A Colorless And As Indistinct As The Business Suit Which Is Now Worm By Everyone, By The Scholar, By The Businessman, By The Professional Killer. Being Accustomed To A Dry And Dreary Norm And Sees In It An Obvious Sign Of Arrogance And Aggression; Viewing Authority With Almost Religious Awe He Gets Into A Frenzy When He Sees Someone Pluck The Beard Of His Favorite Prophet.

Confronted With Such A Variety Most Philosophers Try To Establish One Approach To The Exclusion Of All Others. As Far As They Are Concerned There Can Only Be One True Way- And They Want To Find It. Thus Normative Philosophers Argue That Knowledge Is A Result Of The Application Of Certain Rules, They Propose Rules Which In Their Opinion Constitute Knowledge And Reject What Clashes With Them.

A Scientist, An Artist, A Citizen Is Not Like A Child Who Needs Papa Methodology And Mama Rationality To Give Him Security And Direction, He Can Take Care Of Himself, For He Is The Inventor Not Only Of Laws, Theories, Pictures, Plays, Forms Of Music, Ways Of Dealing With His Fellow Man, Institutions, But Also Entire World View, He Is The Inventor Of Entire Forms Of Like.

Science Is Essentially An Anarchic Enterprise: Theoretical Anarchism Is More Humanitarian And More Likely To Encourage Progress Than Its Law-and-order Alternatives.

Today Science Prevails Not Because Of Its Comparative Merits, But Because The Show Has Been Rigged In Its Favour... It Reigns Supreme Because Some Past Successes Have Led To Institutional Measures (education; Role Of Experts; Role Of Power Groups Such As The Ama) That Prevent A Comeback Of The Rivals.
