A conflict with experience at the periphery occasions readjustments in the interior of the field. Truth values have to be redistributed over some of out statements. Re-evaluation of some statements entails re-evaluation of others, because of their logical interconnections-the logical laws being in turn simply certain further statements of the system, certain further elements of the field.

‘Political science had to free itself from rational natural law; even modern natural law started from the old-European view that represented society as a politically constituted community integrated through legal norms. The new concepts of bourgeois formal law made it possible to proceed constructively and, from normative points of view, to project the legal political order as a rational mechanism. An empirically oriented political science had to dissociate itself radically from that view. It concerned it6self with politics as a societal subsystem and absolved itself of the task of conceiving society as a whole. In opposition to natural-law normativism, it excluded moral practical questions of legitimacy from scientific consideration, or it treated them as empirical questions about descriptively ascertainable beliefs in legitimacy. It thereby broke off relations to the rationality problematic’.

When Galileo showed that his methods of scientific discovery were competent to provide a mechanical theory which should cover every occupant of space, Descartes found in himself two conflicting motives. As a man of scientific genius, he could not but endorse the claims of mechanics, yet as a religious and moral man he could not accept, as Hobbes accepted the discouraging rider to those claims, namely that human nature differs only in degree of complexity from clockwise’.

‘Physical explanation is well suited to the explanation of structure and of function. Structural properties and functional properties are the king of thing that can be straightforwardly
entailed by a low-level physical story, and so are clearly suited for reductive explanation. And almost all the high-level phenomena that we need to explain ultimately come down to
structure or function: think of the explanation of waterfalls, planets digestion, reproduction, language. But the explanation of consciousness is not just a matter of explaining structure
and function. Once we have explained all the physical structure in the vicinity of the brain, and we have explained how all the various brain function are performed, there is a further
sort of explanation consciousness itself’.
