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.
