أزمة العقلانية : فيرابند أنموذجا

الملخص EN

Feyerabend condescends the attitude of many scientists towards other ways of thinking and knowing.

he recalls, among other things, that negative opinions on astrology or on the effectiveness of rain dances have not been the subject of scientific refutations2, and that the rejection of these phenomena was therefore no longer rational.

for him, science was becoming a repressive ideology after having been an initially liberating movement.

Feyerabend thought it useful for a modern society to free itself from a purely causal view of the world, as it had done with the finalist ideologies.

contesting the idea of a universal scientific method, Feyerabend asserts that the position of science in western societies, and therefore scientism, has shifted.

since scientists cannot manage to adopt a universal point of view that would guarantee the quality of their observations, there is no reason for him that the assertions of science should be privileged over those of other ideologies such as religions ..

we could not therefore judge the other ideologies from the visions of the science of the moment.

in addition, great scientific successes have historically had non-scientific elements.

the inspiration of the scientist comes to him at least in good part from the mythical or the religious.
