| Synopsis: |
This text argues that scientific knowledge is primarily an effort at social legitimation, and that its conceptual incoherence as knowledge is now becoming ecological incoherence as social practice. In this argument the author attacks the scientific notions of nature, mathematics, the mind, and social life, and concludes that the idea of knowledge must be understood ecologically and reflexively as an issue of language, rather than objectively and technically as an issue of nature. |
