Kuhn Dogging

Steve Fuller has written what may be the definitive book on Thomas Kuhn, whose reputation surpassed his own sense of propriety even within his lifetime. Definitive, because I can hardly imagine anyone else pursuing to such immoderate lengths the demons that possessed him, both named and unnamed - a veritable legion - bringing him back to earth, making him human again.

Fuller also fends off those demons that took Kuhn from behind and gave him a child that would be his monstrous offspring. But what is left is something even more monstrous. Unscrambling his genetic mutations reveals that he was already a freak.
