Haack - Defending science -within reason: between scientism and cynicism

, Entangled in the Bramble Bush, draws substantially on An Epistemologist in the Bramble Bush: At the Supreme Court with Mr. Joiner, published in the Journal of Health Politics, Policy, and Law 26, no. 2, 21748, in April 2001, and reprinted electronically in Philosophy, Science, and Law in the fall of the same year.

Various versions of chapters of the book formed the basis of my lectures as Phi Beta Kappa Romanell Professor, delivered at the University of Miami in 1997; of my Gail Stine Memorial Lecture at Wayne State University, and my Bermann lectures at Ume University, Sweden, in 1999; of my Cowling lectures at Carleton College, my Gilbert Ryle lectures at Trent University, Canada, my Spenser-Leavitt lectures at Union College, and my Gustav Bergman lecture at the University of Iowa, in 2000; of my Henri J. Renard lecture at Creighton University, and a public lecture at Michigan State University supported by the Templeton Foundation, in 2001; and of my lectures as Lansdowne Professor at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and the lecture I gave on the occasion of my receiving the Faculty Senate Distinguished Scholar Award at the University of Miami, in 2002.

And parts of the book have been presented in philosophy departments, at conferences, and as public lectures at universities around the world, from Madrid, Santiago de Compostela, and La Corua in Spain, Lund, Stockholm, and Uppsala in Sweden, Oslo and Bergen in Norway, to Florianpolis in Brazil, as well as at universities and colleges across the U.S. and Canada. An abridged version of , originally written for a conference organized by the School of Law and the Department of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was presented in the Law Schools at Penn, Virginia, Maryland, Iowa, Boston, Creighton, and the College of William and Mary; the full chapter was presented at Case Western Reserve Law School, and, with some thoughts about differences between the culture of the law in the United States and Canada, at Dalhousie Law School in Nova Scotia.

I learned a great deal, on all these occasions, from listeners comments and questions; as I did from a small army of helpful correspondents, among them not only philosophers but also scientists, historians of science, engineers, economists, and legal and literary scholars; and from the students who asked good questions, brought articles and clippings they thought might interest me, or just looked appropriately baffled when I said something incomprehensible. I am grateful to all the many people who helped, in different ways, to make this a better book than it would have been had I struggled with it entirely alonenot least to the librarians of the University of Miami School of Law, and especially Virginia Templeton, for bibliographical assistance. I am especially grateful to Mark Migotti, who read the whole thing in typescript, raised good questions and made useful suggestions, and even stuck with me through the final process of hunting down repetitive passages and fixing twisted and broken sentences; and, as always, to Howard Burdickbecause the usual but-for-whoms don't begin to cover it.
