The book critically explores various theories regarding the origins of knowledge and science, questioning whether they stem from rationality and scientific methods or are influenced by socio-political factors and power dynamics. It engages with perspectives from sociologists, Michel Foucault's ideas on power relations, and Nietzsche's concept of "the will to power." By examining these viewpoints, the volume aims to challenge and analyze the notion of rational explanation in the pursuit of understanding knowledge.
