Description
Feyerabend Philosophy, Science and Society by John Preston
This comprehensive critical study explores the work of Paul Feyerabend, one of the foremost twentieth-century philosophers of science. The book examines the evolution of Feyerabend's thought, tracing its development from his early attempts to integrate insights from Wittgenstein and Popper.
The author critically evaluates the key elements of Feyerabend's model of knowledge acquisition and explores the roots of his 'epistemological anarchism'. The book also discusses the influence of Feyerabend's thought on contemporary philosophers, tracing his stimulating but divided legacy. This study will be of interest to students of philosophy, methodology, and the social sciences.
