- Summary
- "In 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result. At the time, Morris was a graduate student ... Kuhn, meanwhile, was--and, posthumously, remains--a star in his field, the author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that has sold well over a million copies and introduced the concept of 'paradigm shifts' to the larger culture. And Morris thought the idea was bunk. The Ashtray tells why--and makes a powerful case for Morris's way of viewing the world, central to which is a fundamental conception of the necessity of truth ... He has no patience for philosophical systems that settle for internal coherence and disdain the world itself. Morris is after bigger game: he wants to establish as clearly as possible what we know and can say about the world, reality, history, our actions and interactions"--Dust jacket flap
