I assume your making some kind of comment about the "intellectual"
methodology preferred by pseudoscientists? Frankly, a title like
"Farewell to Reason" frightens me. I've had more than ample
opportunities to sample alternative methods of "knowing", and have been
disappointed in all but science (actually, science too, just not as much).
Can you put Feyerabend's ideas in a nutshell for me?
