A true classic of Twentieth Century literature, this wonderful little book, which argues for the contingency of scientific knowledge, deserves space on the bookshelf next to {{br|The Wealth of Nations}} (identifying the [[contingency]] of economic wellbeing and value), Hume’s {{br|A Treatise of Human Nature}} (causal scepticism), {{br|The Origin of Species}} (the contingency of biological development) and Contingency, Irony and Solidarity (the contingency of language) - along with those perennially confusing continental stalwarts {{author|Friedrich Nietzsche}} and {{author|Ludwig Wittgenstein}}, as representing the fundamental underpinnings of modern Relativist thought. | A true classic of Twentieth Century literature, this wonderful little book, which argues for the contingency of scientific knowledge, deserves space on the bookshelf next to {{br|The Wealth of Nations}} (identifying the [[contingency]] of economic wellbeing and value), Hume’s {{br|A Treatise of Human Nature}} (causal scepticism), {{br|The Origin of Species}} (the contingency of biological development) and Contingency, Irony and Solidarity (the contingency of language) - along with those perennially confusing continental stalwarts {{author|Friedrich Nietzsche}} and {{author|Ludwig Wittgenstein}}, as representing the fundamental underpinnings of modern Relativist thought. |
