Sense-certainly, as a method for seeking truth, has now officially been demolished, with the publication of this paper, whose purpose, LaRouche writes, is “to correct what had been the widespread, taught illusion, the illusion which works to the present effect of what passes among all too many, for a claimed knowledge of principle....
