摘要：

This review examines some of the epistemological and political implications of the conclusions drawn by eminent philosophers of science surrounding empiricism, reductionism, and causality. Why, asks this review, are philosophers of science unwilling (or unable, or uninterested) to examine the larger implications of their critiques of "scientific'' methods and assumptions, especially as those implications have important political resonances?
