About the Axis of Horganism: This graph compares what thinkers say about the main idea advanced in The End of Science and "The Final Frontier": Those who are placed at the Horganism end (the bottom) agree that basic science is basically over; those who are at the Anti-Horganism end (the top) disagree, saying our most amazing discoveries lie ahead of us. Mouse over each person's name to read a short bio and quotes on Horganism. We will continue adding thinkers to the graph over the next several days.
