The Treachery of Law ("War on Drugs")

"Obviously something is wrong with the entire argument of 'obviousness'."

– Paul Lazarsfeld

 

"Science can only be comprehended epistemologically, which means as one category of possible knowledge, as long as knowledge is not equated either effusively with the absolute knowledge of a great philosophy or blindly with scientistic self-understanding of the actual business of research."

– Jürgen Habermas (1971) "Knowledge and Human Interests", p. 4.

 

"Science is for the laboratory. Other men, who stand alone and face the elemental forces of nature, know that science as a shining, world-conquering hero, is a myth. Science lives in concrete structures full of bright factory toys, insulated from the earth's great forces. The priesthood of this new cult are seldom called upon to stand and face the onslaught."

– Hammond Innes, "Atlantic Fury" (1962), Chapter II.2.
