/ My message is not that biological \
| determinists were bad scientists or |
| even that they were always wrong. |
| Rather, I believe that science must be |
| understood as a social phenomenon, a |
| gutsy, human enterprise, not the work |
| of robots programmed to collect pure |
| information. I also present this view |
| as an upbeat for science, not as a |
| gloomy epitaph for a noble hope |
| sacrificed on the alter of human |
| limitations. |
| |
| I believe that a factual reality exists |
| and that science, though often in an |
| obtuse and erratic manner, can learn |
| about it. Galileo was not shown the |
| instruments of torture in an abstract |
| debate about lunar motion. He had |
| threatened the Church's conventional |
| argument for social and doctrinal |
| stability: the static world order with |
| planets circling about a central earth, |
| priests subordinate to the Pope and |
| serfs to their lord. But the Church |
| soon made its peace with Galileo's |
| cosmology. They had no choice; the |
| earth really does revolve about the |
| sun. |
