Key Concepts in Paul Feyerabend
Abstract
The aim of this text is to introduce readers to the fundamental concepts of Paul Feyerabend's anarchist epistemology. To facilitate this, the article primarily draws on the Viennese philosopher's seminal work Against Method. Detailed discussions of the various theories and related controversies have been omitted for simplicity. Nevertheless, despite its introductory nature, the text requires readers to have some prior knowledge of the philosophy of science.
