Considerably different than “Universal Priors to Science: Draft 1.” Argues that the faculty of liberal arts colleges are the only people could can easily meet the challenge of revitalizing science. They collectively maintain and sustain the knowledge of the human being, of the language, of reasoning through representation, and of appropriate archival representations. Denies that systematic and detailed planning is inconsistent with open and liberal thinking and argues that it can be accomplished with a study of generic design, founded in Universal Priors. Presented at the Annual Meeting, Association for Integrative Studies (A.I.S.), University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, 20-23 October 1988.
