Incommensurability
Feyerabend's 1962 essay 'Explanation, Reduction, and Empiricism' introduced the idea of incommensurability, which was quite controversial at the time. The idea explains that scientific theories which replace each other via advancement, do not operate with the same concepts.

Feyerabend
In a 1993 reprint of his book 'Against Method', Feyerabend goes even further into his controversial thoughts by stating the general populace has a preconceived notion of what science is and that it is simply false. He argues that the concept of science as a single unified dogma is detrimental to advancement.
