Zusammenfassung

Claims by extra-scientific, religious institutions or fundamentalist believers to having the last word in matters scientific (humanities included) have been connected in the history of science less with defending truth than rather with exerting power and authority. The condemnation of Galileo is the model case. Other examples are the Papal infallibility dogma of 1871, the case of evolutionary theory in present day Vatican statements, and, finally, in present-day fundamentalist Christian and Islamic circles. My normative plea is based on a great achievement of enlightened rational thinking: there are no last words, neither in science nor in other cognitive fields. Enlightened rejection of the last word does not, however, support "postmodern" Western relativism: there are very well second last words, based on universalizable arguments and evidence.
