Abstract

The story “El Aleph” of Jorge Luis Borges concerns the rules of art: are its rules after the facts? Are some rules helpful? Are there some absolute rules? Can the best system of science possibly contain an image of the whole cosmos? Borges adopted Russell’s answer: the cosmos is too rich for that. Popper and Polanyi agreed. Kuhn followed Polanyi; Feyerabend followed Popper. A posthumous book of his is Conquest of Abundance: A Tale of Abstraction versus the Richness of Being.
