Book Overview
A systematic critique of the notion that natural science is the sovereign domain of truth, Critique of Scientific Reason uses an extensive and detailed investigation of physics--and in particular of Einstein's theory of relativity--to argue that the positivistic notion of rationality is not only wrongheaded but false. Kurt H bner contends that positivism ignores both the historical dimension of science and the basic structures common to scientific theory, myth, and so-called subjective symbolic systems. Moreover, H bner argues, positivism has led in our time to a widespread disillusionment with science and technology.
