The Worst Enemy of Science
Paul Feyerabend — the student who dismantled his teacher's programme. A wounded soldier who wanted to sing opera, and the philosopher who showed that science's greatest moves broke every rule: 'anything goes' as history's verdict, not his advice.
Pluralism and the Interrelational
Approaching interrelational pluralism from the pluralism side: a family of tracks that rightly never joined up in content, joined in the medium of expression — pluralist voices within envelopes of common understanding, a better position on pluralism's borders, disputes, and the realism question.
