Though it may not appear so at first glance, the chapters that
follow are all of a piece. Each is part of a larger endeavor to
evaluate the role and veracity of truth in the realm of science.
During the 1990s, when I composed the majority of these projects,
postmodernists appeared to gaining the upper hand in the Science
Wars. To put it bluntly, postmodernists had declared that science
was evil and truth was dead. Although certain elements of the
postmodern critique clearly had merit, the broader implications for
truth and science were more problematic. In the chapters that
follow, I develop a critical analysis of the philosophy and
practice of science. While I acknowledge the ticklish problems that
coercive power often exercises over knowledge, ultimately, I arrive
at a very different conclusion than postmodernists about the value
of truth and the future of science.
