Description
Philosopher, physicist, and anarchist, Paul Feyerabend was one of the most unconventional scholars of his time. In this recently rediscovered volume, which covers everything from the earliest cave paintings to 20th century atomic physics, Feyerabend explores the philosophy of science in his familiar polemical and extraordinarily learned manner.
Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.

Advance Praise
In this book, we can see another side of this multi-faceted figure: Feyerabend as a historical philosopher of nature and as an analyst of the development of ancient Greek philosophy. This puts some of his apparently outrageous positions into perspective and reveals their sometimes quite sophisticated background.
Paul Hoyningen-Huene, Leibniz Universität Hannover
Feyerabend famously quipped that the only rule of method is that anything goes. Philosophy of Nature sheds light on his transition from critical rationalist to epistemological anarchist. Ranging from Stonehenge and Homer to Bohr and Einstein, the book creatively explores the relations of mythological thought to philosophy and science.
