If you want to be really challenged, I'd highly recommend checking out The Tyranny of Science by Paul K. Feyerabend.[0] Whether you agree with the points made or not, you'll definitely learn a lot and realize a lot even from arguing against his points.

Thanks, I had read some Feyerabend essays a few years ago. This is indeed instead thought provoking.
