In that earlier book I subjected some of the standard accounts of science and its methods to a critical scrutiny but did not elaborate on any alternative to them in any detail. I have become convinced that some such elaboration is necessary, is better given the extent to which, against my intentions, my position has been bred as a radically sceptical one that denies any distinctive, objective status to scientific knowledge this book contains an extension and elaboration of the argument of its predecessor." -- from the preface XI.
