If traditional scientific theories are breaking down, if science is turning out not to be a body of reliable permanent firm objective knowledge, if a significant proportion of every scientific theory is subjective anyway, in the sense that its contributed to by the human mind, by the observer, by the scientist, how is it, in these circumstances, that we can actually build bridges, fly airplanes, make rockets go to the moon, and, actually, make all this soft, fuzzy, changing, partly subjective body of theory work for us?
