Product details

"Feyerabend and Scientific Values" is an academic book that engages with the philosophy of Paul Feyerabend, an influential thinker often regarded as an icon of scientific anarchism and relativism. This work questions the common perception of Feyerabend and argues that his approach was not only destructive but also creative. The author, R.P. Farrell, sheds light on the misunderstandings surrounding Feyerabend's philosophy and demonstrates that he supported an alternative theory of scientific rationality known as "tightrope-walking rationality." This theory emphasizes the necessity of balancing irreconcilable values in a context-sensitive manner within science. The book is divided into two parts: the first part addresses the misunderstandings, while the second part brings together the positive aspects of Feyerabend's work and presents them as a coherent alternative to the traditional view of scientific rationality.
