Over the past thirty years Paul Feyerabend has developed an
extremely distinctive and influentical approach to problems in the
philosophy of science. The most important and seminal of his
published essays are collected here in two volumes, with new
introductions to provide an overview and historical perspective on
the discussions of each part. Volume 1 presents papers on the
interpretation of scientific theories, together with papers
applying the views developed to particular problems in philosophy
and physics. The essays in volume 2 examine the origin and history
of an abstract rationalism, as well as its consequences for the
philosophy of science and methods of scientific research. Professor
Feyerabend argues with great force and imagination for a
comprehensive and opportunistic pluralism. In doing so he draws on
extensive knowledge of scientific history and practice, and he is
alert always to the wider philosophical, practical and political
implications of conflicting views. These two volumes fully display
the variety of his ideas, and confirm the originality and
significance of his work.
