I had the honor of knowing Dr. Liu personally. He is unassuming, quick, down to earth among all the best quality a person can have. I cannot locate Dr. Liu since he came back to the US from his Hong Kong teaching, about two years ago. Wonder if anyone knows the whereabouts of Dr. Liu and let me know.

In Toward a Democratic Science, Brown opens the radical possibility of an outside to science, an outside which can already be glimpse within science, through its various rhetorical devices and means of becoming engaged and therefore more democratic. Situating the question of democracy, not within the often limited standards of political argumentation which point either to liberal or conservative sentiments (while both sides denounce any new form of socialism), Brown seeks to rescue science as the vent of the democratic, as that singular activity with which we can unravel the closures of world representation and make new ones.
