Abstract

Paul Feyerabend (1924–94) was a philosopher who gained recognition for his views on science and the role of science in society. Feyerabend is best known for his epistemological anarchism, the critique of the privileged position of science in society, and his endorsement of relativism. He made several contributions to the history and philosophy of science by studying the incommensurability of scientific theories and pluralistic nature of science, offering a new interpretation of the Scientific Revolution. His critique of classical empiricism and formal accounts of rationality remains his legacy in social studies of science and contemporary philosophy of scientific practice.
