'''Science Besieged''' is a project of [[Ars Hermeneutica:About | Ars Hermeneutica]] directed at countering anti-scientism in whatever guise it appears and at increasing understanding about science and the scientific enterprise while decreasing hostility towards it.

Science is continually bombarded by anti-scientific debris, either indirectly through outcroppings of pseudo-science, bad science portrayed in films, or charlatans who misdirect congressional appropriations to their own benefit; or directly through attempts to censor the teaching of evolution or the willful manipulation of scientific results to serve government policy ends, to name only a few examples.

Attacking science sometimes appears to be a new game invented by each generation, but it's an old story. The rationality of the scientific enterprise has always aroused the enmity of anti-rational foes – as the contemporary responses to Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, and Darwin: demonstrate, enlightenment has never been universal.
