Abstract
Where classical science used to emphasize permanence, we now find change and evolution; we no longer see in the skies the trajectories that filled Kant's heart with the same admiration as the moral law. We now see strange objects: quasars, pulsars, galaxies exploding and being torn apart, stars that, we are told, collapse into ‘black holes’, irreversibly devouring everything they manage to ensnare. (Prigogine and Stengers 1984: 214‐215)
