Die Aufsiitze des vorliegenden Bandes wurden zwischen 1950 und 1980
ge- schrieben. 2/15- ist der friiheste Aufsatz. Ich schrieb ihn
1950/52, teils in Wien, nach Diskussionen mit Elizabeth Anscombe,
die mir die damals noch ungedruck- ten Wittgensteinschen Schriften
zeigte, teils in London, als Stipendiat des British Council.
Wittgenstein macht es klar, daB eine Praxis wie die Praxis des
Denkensl Handelns/Redens/Planemachens in einer bestimmten Kultur
sich durch abstrakte Begriffe und Beschreibungen weder darstellen,
noch lenken laBt, und zwar vor allem darum, weil jede Regel, die
man zu soleh auBerer Umformung einsetzen mochte, nur dann sinnvoll
wird, wenn man sie eng mit der Praxis verbindet und dadurch einer
Erfassung durch einfache und klar aufgebaute Begriffe und MaB-
stabe entzieht: ist ein MaBstab wirksam, dann ist sein Inhalt viel
komplizierter als seine Formulierung vermuten laBt. LaBt sich
umgekehrt sein Inhalt mit Hilfe ein- facher Schlagworte erfassen,
dann wird eine interessante Praxis von ihm kaum auf fruchtbare
Weise gefordert werden, und das selbst dann nicht, wenn sich die
ver- wendeten Schlagworte mit anderen Schlagworten zu einem schonen
philosophi- schen System zusammenfiigen (man vergleiche etwa
Brechts Praxis der Theater- arbeit und seine, Theorie' der
Verfremdung). 1m Falle der Wissenschaften bedeu- tet das, daB
methodologische Oberlegungen nur im Zusammenhang mit konkreten
Problemen sinnvoll sind: die Methodologie ist ein komplizierter
Teil der wissen- schaftlichen Praxis, nicht ein tiber ihr stehender
Richter. Mehr verschroben ausge- driickt: fruchtbare Methodologie
ist forschungsimmanent, nicht forschungstrans- zendent.
This collection of the writings of Paul Feyerabend is focused on
his philosophy of quantum physics, the hotbed of the key issues of
his most debated ideas. Written between 1948 and 1970, these
writings come from his first and most productive period. These
early works are important for two main reasons. First, they
document Feyerabend's deep concern with the philosophical
implications of quantum physics and its interpretations. These
ideas were paid less attention in the following two decades.
Second, the writings provide the crucial background for
Feyerabend's critiques of Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn. Although
rarely considered by scholars, Feyerabend's early work culminated
in the first version of Against Method. These writings guided him
on all the key issues of his most well-known and debated theses,
such as the incommensurability thesis, the principles of
proliferation and tenacity, and his particular version of
relativism, and more specifically on quantum mechanics.
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.
