The Conspiracy Theory Of Society... Comes From

Science Does Not Rest Upon Solid Bedrock. The Bold Structure Of Its Theories Rises, As It Were, Above A Swamp. It Is Like A Building Erected On Piles. The Piles Are Driven Down From Above Into The Swamp, But Not Down To Any Natural Or 'given' Base; And If We Stop Driving The Piles Deeper, It Is Not Because We Have Reached Firm Ground. We Simply Stop When We Are Satisfied That The Piles Are Firm Enough To Carry The Structure, At Least For The Time Being.

There Is No History Of Mankind, There Is Only An Indefinite Number Of Histories Of All Kinds Of Aspects Of Human Life.

Better Our Hypotheses Die For Our Errors Than Ourselves.

Science Must Begin With Myths, And With The Criticism Of Myths.

We Are Social Creatures To The Inmost Centre Of Our Being. The Notion That One Can Begin Anything At All From Scratch, Free From The Past, Or Unindebted To Others, Could Not Conceivably Be More Wrong.
