Description
Paul Feyerabend's Philosophy of Nature is a long-lost work that has recently been rediscovered. This first volume explores the significance of myths for early natural philosophy, tracing the development from Homer's "aggregate universe" to Parmenides' uniform ontology. Feyerabend examines the rise of rationalism in Greek antiquity, which he considers a disastrous development, and its impact on our relationship with nature. The book features numerous pictures and drawings by Feyerabend himself, as well as previously unpublished biographical material that sheds new light on his life and work. This volume is the first part of a planned three-volume project, covering the period from the earliest stone age cave paintings to atomic physics in the 20th century. A unique and thought-provoking contribution to the history of philosophy, Philosophy of Nature offers a fresh perspective on the development of natural philosophy and its relationship with science.
