Science Is An Essentially Anarchic Enterprise.

The Material Which A Scientist Actually Has At His Disposal, His Laws, His Experimental Results, His Mathematical Techniques, His Epistemological Prejudices, His Attitude Towards The Absurd Consequences Of The Theories Which He Accepts, Is Indeterminate In Many Ways, Ambiguous, And Never Fully Separated From The Historical Background . This Material Is Always Contaminated By Principles Which He Does Not Know And Which, If Known, Would Be Extremely Hard To Test.

So Far Unitarian Realism Claiming To Possess Positive Knowledge About Ultimate Reality Has Succeeded Only By Excluding Large Areas Of Phenomena Or By Declaring, Without Proof, That They Could Be Reduced To Basic Theory, Which, In This Connection, Means Elementary Particle Physics.

Not Only Are Facts And Theories In Constant Disharmony, They Are Never As Neatly Separated As Everyone Makes Them Out To Be.

Science Is Much Closer To Myth Than A Scientific Philosophy Is Prepared To Admit. It Is One Of The Many Forms Of Thought That Have Been Developed By Man, And Not Necessarily The Best. It Is Conspicuous, Noisy, And Impudent, But It Is Inherently Superior Only For Those Who Have Already Decided In Favour Of A Certain Ideology, Or Who Have Accepted It Without Ever Having Examined Its Advantages And Its Limits.
