Paul Feyerabend's globally acclaimed work, which sparked and
continues to stimulate fierce debate, examines the deficiencies of
many widespread ideas about scientific progress and the nature of
knowledge. Feyerabend argues that scientific advances can only be
understood in a historical context. He looks at the way the
philosophy of science has consistently overemphasized practice over
method, and considers the possibility that anarchism could replace
rationalism in the theory of knowledge.
This updated edition of the classic text includes a new
introduction by Ian Hacking, one of the most important contemporary
philosophers of science. Hacking reflects on both Feyerabend's life
and personality as well as the broader significance of the book for
current discussions.
