- Clips of an interview with the controversial philosopher of science, Paul Feyerabend, an Austrian-born thinker who was an influential figure in the philosophy of science as well as the sociology of science. He was well known for being something of a provocateur or gadfly. In his most famous work "Against Method", he developed a kind of anarchist view of knowledge (epistemological anarchism), which is the view that "anything goes" in science, that there is no method or universal rules, nor should there be any. Such fixed rules are detrimental to science itself insofar as they restrict scientific progress and the growth of knowledge, as well as lead to a kind of dogmatism. (My Description)
#Philosophy #Science
Read 'Against Method' immediately after reading Kuhn's 'Structure'. I do like his idea of epistemological anarchism. He does talk quickly, his words just roll off his tongue. Great to hear him.
31:12 the separation of science & state is a fantastic idea, just like the separation of church and state. It's the first step to fight dogmatism in science, with the goal to destroy scientism and restore proper science. Take power away from the fundamentalists and let real scientists have real scientific discussions and advancements.
One of the most remarkable minds, yet sadly one of the most misunderstood.
I took two philosophy classes from Feyerabend at UC Berkeley and was always fascinated by the questions he asked of himself and students. A true philosopher.
Many thanks for sharing this!
It would be really appreciated if more Feyerabend videos are uploaded.
Thank you so much for uploading this Feyerabend's interview. I remember in the last channel there were two other videos containing Feyerabend and other philosophers' discussions. Could you please re-upload them? Those videos would be very usefull for some researches I've been doing :D
❤ Thank you.
Listened for ten minutes but it felt like half an hour’s worth of info. Holy smokes!
Yes! Rapid, cogent, rich. No need to speed up this video….
Does anybody have the full interview?
This looks like a Nvidia's new tech demo from 2007.
Does anyone know the name h s mentioning at 29:18?
Oh I figured it out - Tycho Brahe

love it... this guy's intense.
33:17 great educational proposal
Thank you, epistemically anarchist grandpa
I always assumed he was a total wack job. But here, Feyerabend sounds eminently reasonable.
It's called propaganda/smear.
Mainstream science is infested with dogmatic materialists, pseudo-scientists, and he exposed them as fundamentalists of scientism, therefore most mainstream scientists have no kind words for Feyerabend. He demanded the separation of science and state (just like church & state) -> absolutely perfect.
I read his autobiography and thought it was one of the most interesting short books id encountered in years. There he displayed a keen sense of his own limitations as a person, and was very open and frank about his regrets in life. The criticism he faced must have been nasty, if people still think of him as a madman (no indictment of you). Which i find disheartening as this dehumanizing attitude is still prevalent in the treatment of those who actually do suffer from mental anguish. I found nothing in him that was unresonable, though that may say as much about me as him !
He said "Anything goes" end of fixed theories and the start of Incommensurability
Please find a better word for that feeling ...
No, he explained what he meant by that. It frees science from the shackles of dogmatism.
