Against The Method
(Paul Feyerabend)
More famous and controversial workmanship of Paul Feyerabend, Against the Method, presents to the reader that one that was the main contribution of this philosopher for the scientific knowledge: the epistemológico anarquismo.
Claiming not only metodológico pluralism, but also, the end of the many existing divisions between different fields of knowing, the author suggests the use of against-rules to neutralize the trend of the researchers to preserve everything what he is old and familiar - academic vice that Feyerabend flame of coherence condition.
Thinker of extremities, Paul Feyerabend defends that, when new hypotheses are obliged if to adjust the accepted theories already, the propitious environment for the dogmatização is created. Critic to the ferrenho of the half academic - which attributes worthy rituals of a seita - the author suggests that he does not advance to leave in search of new facts, therefore will only come to tona those that demonstrate the coherence of the effective theory then.
In the base of the epistemológico anarquismo it is the discovery, on the part of Feyerabend, of a science that cannot supply perpetual answers, but the the opposite, is in constant process of growth.
Some critics had arrived to suggest that Against the Method it was a reaction exaggerated before this impossibility of perfection on the part of science - what he would finish for disclosing a Paul Feyerabend with strong positivistas trends. We cannot affirm that this is critical a reasonable one. To consider depositions of the proper Feyerabend, the scientific imperfection was constant not only subject in its lessons and preleções as, also, something with which it would dialogue all in the set of uses workmanship.
For Paul Feyerabend, the paradigms are only exceeded - and science, consequently, makes advances - when traditionally accepted the academic methods are left of side. The proposal, that surprise in the half academic in fears of the decade of 1970 caused, is synthecized no longer proper name of the workmanship.
