A Viennese émigré, Paul Feyerabend taught philosophy of science wherever his restless nature brought him – especially Berkeley, London, Auckland, Berlin and Zurich. His views on methodology and the politics of science established him as one of the most controversial, eccentric, and outrageous figures in contemporary philosophy. Allegedly an irrational thinker, Feyerabend was in fact a sceptical master and iconoclast about the sciences and their philosophy. He denounced the gap between abstract normative philosophical accounts of science and actual, complex, and context-dependent scientific practice.

Abstract
A Viennese émigré, Paul Feyerabend taught philosophy of science wherever his restless nature brought him – especially Berkeley, London, Auckland, Berlin and Zurich. His views on methodology and the politics of science established him as one of the most controversial, eccentric, and outrageous figures in contemporary philosophy. Allegedly an irrational thinker, Feyerabend was in fact a sceptical master and iconoclast about the sciences and their philosophy. He denounced the gap between abstract normative philosophical accounts of science and actual, complex, and context-dependent scientific practice.File in questo prodotto:
