4.0 out of 5 stars
Forceful and revealing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Science in a Free Society (Hardcover)
As always, Feyerabend is an exceptionally revealing read. His purpose in this book is to identify the special position that the scientific establishment has come to occupy in our society, and to argue for a change. His claim is that in a free society science would be one of many different traditions. In our society, science has acquired a degree of power, over the state and our educational institutions, that is unhealthy. He makes a compelling case for a society where different traditions (acupuncture, faith healing, 'scientific' medicine, ayurveda) enjoy equal access to our institutions. The book consists of a collection of essays, and a collection of animated rebuttals directed at reviewers of 'Against Method'.
