The work that helped to determine Paul Feyerabend's fame and
notoriety, "Against Method," stemmed from Imre Lakatos's challenge:
"In 1970 Imre cornered me at a party. "Paul", he said, "you have
such strange ideas. Why don't you write them down? I shall write a
reply, we publish the whole thing and I promise you - we shall have
a lot of fun." Although Lakatos died before he could write his
reply, this text reconstructs his original counter-arguments from
lectures and correspondence previously unpublished in English,
allowing us to enjoy the "fun" two of this century's most eminent
philosophers had, matching their wits and ideas on the subject of
the scientific method. The text opens with an imaginary dialogue
between Lakatos and Feyerabend, which Matteo Motterlini has
constructed, based on their published works, to synthesize their
positions and arguments. Part one presents the transcripts of the
last lectures on method that Lakatos delivered. Part two,
Feyerabend's response, consists of a previously published essay on
anarchism, which began the attack on Lakatos's position that
Feyerabend later continued in "Against Method." The third and
longest section consists of the correspondence Lakatos and
Feyerabend exchanged on method and many other issues and ideas, as
well as the events of their daily lives, between 1968 and Lakatos's
death in 1974.
