About this listen

Paul Feyerabend’s globally acclaimed work, which sparked and continues to stimulate fierce debate, examines the deficiencies of many widespread ideas about scientific progress and the nature of knowledge. Feyerabend argues that scientific advances can only be understood in a historical context. He looks at the way the philosophy of science has consistently overemphasized practice over method, and considers the possibility that anarchism could replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge.

This audio edition of the classic text includes an introduction by Ian Hacking, one of the most important contemporary philosophers of science. Hacking reflects on both Feyerabend’s life and personality as well as the broader significance of the book for current discussions. This audio edition is deftly narrated by Mike Fraser.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent iconoclastic work but let down by editing

Well presented arguments, but you never really know where he really stands or necessarily believes his own arguments.

The downside on this excellent work is the editing. There are several repeat which were not taken out and some other minor scuffs which could have made the worl better
