Paul Feyerabend ranks among the most exciting and influential
philosophers of science of the twentieth century. This
reconstruction of his developing ideas combines historical and
systematic considerations. Part I examines the three main
influences on Feyerabend's philosophical development:
Wittgenstein's later philosophy, Popper critical rationalism and
Ehrenhaft's experimental effects. Part II focuses on Feyerabend's
development and use of the notion of incommensurability at the
heart of his philosophical critiques, and investigates his relation
to realism. Feyerabend initially developed the notion of
incommensurability from ideas he found in Duhem. He used the notion
of incommensurability to attack many different forms of conceptual
conservativism in philosophy and the natural sciences. He argued
against many views on the grounds that that they would constrain
the freedom necessary to develop alternative points of view, and
thereby hinder scientific advance. Contrary to widespread opinion,
he was never a scientific realist. Part III reconstructs
Feyerabend's pluralistic conception of knowledge in the context of
his pluralistic philosophical method. Feyerabend was a
philosophical pluralist, who practiced pluralism in pursuit of
progress.
