Against Method

Paul Karl Feyerabend (January 13, 1924 – February 11, 1994) was an Austrian-born philosopher of science best known for his work as a professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked for three decades (1958–1989). He lived a peripatetic life, living at various times in England, the United States, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, and finally Switzerland. His major works include Against Method (published in 1975), Science in a Free Society (published in 1978) and Farewell to Reason (a collection of papers published in 1987). Feyerabend became famous for his purportedly anarchistic view of science and his rejection of the existence of universal methodological rules.He is an influential figure in the philosophy of science, and also in the sociology of scientific knowledge.

Modern philosophy of science has paid great attention to the understanding of scientific "practice, " in contrast to the earlier concentration on scientific "method." Paul Feyerabend's acclaimed work, which has contributed greatly to this new emphasis, shows the deficiencies of some widespread ideas about the nature of knowledge. He argues that the only feasible explanations of scientific successes are historical explanations, and that anarchism must now replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge.

读后感

我下了一个英文版，是New Left Book1975年，1993年Verso第三次印刷的版本，和这个翻译版很不一样：有些英文版里有的这版没有，有一节这版有英文版整个都没有。也没有找到译者是根据哪个版本翻译的。而且有些地方要参看英文版才能看懂，有些乱。

最近我重读了一遍保罗·费耶阿本德的《反对方法》，回头再看译者的那篇序言，不禁哑然失笑，又是验证了我关于中译本序言的一般看法：被否定的部分恰恰是人家的闪光点，而被肯定的部分则多半是误解与废话。下面我就结合序言中评价，来谈谈自己对此书中一些思想的理解。 ...

毫無疑問是 Feyerabend 最強作品。猶記在海德堡將此書翻來覆去看了好多遍努力想搞懂每個字的時光…

老费牛逼。洞见。可惜没中文译本？…

库恩写的是科学史的热力学，常规、反常、范式革命，历史的相变。费耶阿本德补充了科学史的运动学，着眼于内部相互作用。中译副标题Anarchistic翻译成无政府主义，加上对马列毛学术政策的非主流评价，确实容易造成误解。语言转渡时外延的歧义需要注意并剔除，实际上就是如今去中心化。科普工作者应该读一下一二章
