David Stove

Reviews

-With a combination of dazzling philosophical acumen and scarifying wit, Stove does for irrationalism in the philosophy of science what the Romans did for Carthage in the Third Punic War. He assaults and destroys it utterly. It has been a long time since I have read a book of philosophy as entertaining and illuminating.- --Roger Kimball, New Criterion -[T]his book certainly broaches current topics in the philosophy of science with provocative arguments.- --Choice
