From the publication:
Foreword: The methods of experimental philosophy developed over the last five hundred years and now called "Science" have enabled man to acquire an extensive (though incomplete) knowledge of natural laws and processes. The beauty and strength of the method was that it preached humility. The cardinal rule was to offer all theories and models up to the test of experimental verification. Science has to do with truth: If it does not then it will fall to describe reality and its machines and concepts will not progress. There have been times in history when this has been so. The "phlogiston" theory lasted for many generations before truth prevailed: as it always has, for we are ferociously inquisitive creatures. Yet, since World War II, scientists working in certain sensitive areas, have been constrained in various ways to bend the truth, to ignore experimental evidence. Because Science, the queen of philosophies, has become increasingly concerned, not with truth, but with power and with profit. And he who pays the piper calls the tune.
