No Single Theory Ever Agrees With All

Rational Discourse Is Only One Way Of Presenting And Examining An Issue And By No Means The Best. Our New Intellectuals Are Not Aware Of Its Limitations And Of The Nature Of The Things Outside.

Events And Developments, Such As ... The Copernican Revolution, ... Occurred Only Because Some Thinkers Either Decided Not To Be Bound By Certain "obvious" Methodological Rules, Or Because They Unwittingly Broke Them.

Human Paint, Produce Films And Videos; They Dance, Dream And Make Music; They Engage In Political Action, Exchange Goods, Perform Rituals, Build Houses Start Wars, Act In Plays, Try To Please Patrons- And So On... They Contain Patterns, Press The Practitioners To "conform" And In This Way Mold Their Thought, Their Perception, Their Actions, And Their Discriminative Abilities.

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.

The Only Principle That Does Not Inhibit Progress Is: Anything Goes.
