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 updated edition of the classic text includes a new 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.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 420gAuthor: Paul FeyerabendContributor: Ian Hacking (Introduction by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
