Description

'Braude's study offers a load of evidence from a fresh quarter showing how difficult it is to get an honest hearing for deviant phenomena and how comp1iant the model of science actually is. I'm delighted to see it in print. Braude is surely one of the best-informed and most readable philosophical guides, and his book offers the most orderly entry into the inevitable quarrels. The anecdotal material is absolutely fascinating. But Braude's careful speculations about its bearing on causality and empirical confirmation are even more intriguing and much more important.' - Joseph Margolis, Temple University
