First line

One of the most vivid metaphors that Jesus used to address his Apostles was of the lamp hidden beneath a bushel basket, a situation that of course only served to subvert the lamp's illumination.

From the rear cover

Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one of the best-known and most influential books of the twentieth century. But were Kuhn's ideas as revolutionary as the conventional wisdom holds? Steve Fuller argues that Kuhn advocated what was actually a profoundly conservative view of science and how one ought to study its history-a view Fuller charges helped usher in the "Science Wars" and stifle much innovative research.
