Description

Science in a Free Society by Paul Feyerabend explores the role of science in society, challenging the authority of experts and advocating for greater democracy. Feyerabend argues that scientific knowledge should be subject to public scrutiny and debate, rather than being controlled by entrenched interests. The book is a personal account of Feyerabend's intellectual development, tracing his ideas through the work of influential thinkers such as Brecht, Popper, Mill, and Lakatos. By examining the social function of science, Feyerabend seeks to promote more inclusive and democratic decision-making processes. This thought-provoking book offers a striking intervention into contemporary debates about science, politics, and culture.
