Description Abstract: Scientists, in doing science, supposedly operate by a procedure known as the “scientific method”. Although this method works reasonably well within the structure of a particular science, scientists increasingly fail to apply it as the borders of a science are approached or transcended. This weakness will be illustrated by the history of a relatively recently studied but now almost forgotten phenomenon. Uses the Russian cytologist Alexander Gurwitsch's work as a case study.
