Bactra Review UFO Crash at

Thus the (excellent) historian of neuroscience Anne Harrington: ``I didn't come
to praise the Leipzig school; I came to bury them, or at least to try to
elucidate their historical success in the context of their time.'' The quote is
from p. 311 of Anne Harrington (ed.), So Human a Brain: Knowledge and
Values in the Neurosciences (Boston: Birkhäuser, 1992).
There is a good discussion of undercutting and similar sorts of logical
sapping on pp. 140ff of William Poundstone's Labyrinths of Reason, a book it is
hard to praise too highly.
