Against Method

By: Paul Feyerabend

Narrated by: Mike Fraser

Paul Feyerabend’s globally acclaimed work, which sparked and continues to stimulate fierce debate, examines the deficiencies of many widespread ideas about scientific progress and the nature of knowledge. Feyerabend argues that scientific advances can only be understood in a historical context. He looks at the way the philosophy of science has consistently overemphasized practice over method, and considers the possibility that anarchism could replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge.

This audio edition of the classic text includes an introduction by Ian Hacking, one of the most important contemporary philosophers of science. Hacking reflects on both Feyerabend’s life and personality as well as the broader significance of the book for current discussions. This audio edition is deftly narrated by Mike Fraser.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

good book

against method is an important text, and i am glad that an audiobook is available.

the recording editing has some flaws, where a bad take of a sentence is sometimes left in.

A Must Read

Students of philosophy should be required to read this. One point docked because the recording could have been edited slightly better.

bad edits

there are sudden bad edits in multiple places. a paragraph is just cut off and we move on to the next one.
