    Against Method

    "Against Method" was Paul Feyerabend's book regarding his theory pertaining to philosophy of science and how knowledge derived in science is anarchic in nature. He argues that science shouldn't have a rule or methodological approach due to the means by which science has progressed. He strongly is opposed to the idea of a model in which gaining knowledge has a fixed method.
  • Science In a Free Society

    In this book Feyerabends goes further than his approach in "Against Method" and tackles on a critique beyond the issues of the scientific rules and methods, to the social function and direction of science today. He argues that so called experts in the field of science hide behind this title yet hold prejudices and divided opinions within the community itself.
  • Farewell To Reason

    This book written by Feyerabends is a collection of essays regarding his critique to scientific rationalism. Feyerabend was opposed to the ideas of western progress and development in regards to scientific rationalism. Citation: Paul Feyerabend (Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy). (n.d.).

  • Conquest of Abundance

    In this unfinished work of Paul Feyerabend he goes into explaining how it is a blessing of nature that we can only perceive so much around us at any given moment being the limitless amount of sensory input that is at exposure.
