... From: The Velikovsky Affair, Edited by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents 6. The Scientific Reception System by Alfred de Grazia When a scientist writes a book of his controlled experiences, a publisher ponders its audience, and a colleague weighs its value, the special order of human relations called science is in being. Their patterns of motive and behaviour emerge from and return to the larger sphere of social behaviour. They are different from, yet the same as the general social order. Perhaps then never can it be said that this could only happen in science': in a scientific sense science cannot follow laws uniquely its own. Also it would be exceedingly risky ...
102. Velikovsky In Collision [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 3 (Spring 1981) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky In Collision David Stove Editorial Preface : The following article by David Stove originally appeared in the October-November 1964 issue of Quadrant (Sydney, Australia). It is being reprinted because its reasoning and eloquence do not deserve the obscurity it has heretofore enjoyed. Readers familiar with his 1967 article "The Scientific Mafia" (reprinted in Pensée IVR I and Velikovsky Reconsidered) may recognize passages that are derivative of the earlier work presented herein. Were it not for Ralph Juergens having quoted the Quadrant article at the end of "Aftermath to Exposure " in The Velikovsky Affair, probably few outside ...
103. Velikovsky And The Media [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 3: (Fall 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered V" Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky And The Media Chemical and Engineering News Industrial Research Analog Medical Tribune When, in 1950, Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision became a bestseller, academia seemed to lose its self-control. The scientific community, especially, directed a withering and nearly hysterical scorn at the gullibility of the media and the public for taking seriously such unscientific nonsense. While thousands of reviews of the book were being written and while the public was making it the number one seller in the nation, those scientists calling for open-mindedness and a hard look at Velikovsky's conclusions were few indeed. Science ...
104. The Cornell Lecture: Sagan on A Wednesday [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 1 No 3 (1993) Home | Issue Contents The Cornell Lecture: Sagan on A Wednesday (1 ) Lynn E. Rose In order to feel the depths of antagonism that some astronomers feel toward Velikovsky, let us examine a lecture by Carl Sagan, one of the leading expositors and popularizers of current astronomical dogma. Sagan's lecture was given just a little less than a year before the Symposium of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (A .A .A .S .) in San Francisco, at which he was billed as Velikovsky's principal opponent. We will examine this lecture in some detail, since it presents many of ...

His prophetic spirit was an intellectual one, not one which claimed divine revelation as its source. In the early days of his research, and long after his name became associated with quackery and crankism ...

If the standard is incorrect, archaeological problems will be created in the countries which use this standard as a reference. In Ages in Chaos, Velikovsky describes a number of these problems and demonstrates how these problems are resolved by use of a revised chronology. Some of these points will be reviewed here, ...

... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents A Short Biography Immanuel Velikovsky On June 10, 1895, Immanuel Velikovsky was born in Vitebsk, Russia.

110. The Empire Strikes Back [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Empire Strikes Back The asininity of the attacks by the science media and conventional scientists upon Velikovsky was consistent with book reviewing and editorial practices generally. Sympathizers of V. had an ample data bank from 1963 onwards from which to demonstrate that V. s critics were brash, dogmatic, imitative, narrow, selective, unprepared, precipitous, vulnerable, incomplete, pretentious, possessed, unversed, unserious, unselfcritical, prejudiced, unsystematic, inexact, unphilosophical, ideologically scatomatized, vague and irrelevant- to say the least. Yet withal Velikovsky was said to have been "buried" not once but ...
