Feyerabend's contribution to the philosophy of Science
Paul Feyerabend was a truly successful philosopher. Studying under Karl Popper and graduating with a doctorate in Philosophy, Feyerabend has made a great impact on the philosophy of science as written below. If we go back just a little bit, before Feyerabend and Popper, we would eventually arrive back at Francis Bacon. Bacon is the creator, or original designer of the scientific method. This style of thinking, being applied to science, would be religiously used for many years to come. Cont. APUS -
