Fear of Knowledge: Against Relativism and Constructivism (Paperback) ~ Paul Boghossian. Polanyi's Personal Knowledge returns science to the roots of its knowing. In his 2006 short monograph, Fear of Knowledge: Against Relativism and Constructivism, Paul Boghossian takes up the task of refuting the position that all knowledge is socially constructed. Such a view seems to me to lead away from our knowledge of the external world, and ultimately to a sort of nihilism.…agreement on epistemological essentials constitutes a valuable scientific asset that should not be discarded But the relativism against which neopositivists rail and for fear of which they barricade their methodological doors turns out, on closer inspection, to be almost wholly imaginary.
