الفوضوية المعرفية في فلسفة العلم المعاصرة: قراءة في كتاب بول فيرابند "ثلاث محاورات في المعرفة"

الملخص EN

Paul Feyerabend is considered one of the most important post positivistic philosophers, and he is a unique and unparalleled philosopher in the history of philosophical thought.

a hasty reading of his writings ends up with the reader considering him an enemy of science and the scientific method, especially since the titles of his books may suggest this, but a careful and comprehensive reading of his writings shows us a unique philosopher who defends rationality and critical thinking.

Paul Feyerabend's writings transcend narrow disciplinary boundaries.

from the beginning, Feyerabend presented himself as a free thinker independent of the great teachers he studied and worked alongside, including Karl Popper.

perhaps one of the reasons for his dislike of most currents of contemporary philosophy is due to their lack of thinkers who can penetrate the boundaries of narrow disciplines and transcend them to broader horizons such as Ernst Mach, Boltzmann, Einstein and others.

in this research, I will try to defend an idea that contradicts what is commonly known about this philosopher.

what is known about Feyerabend is that he always claims that he does not accept any methodological rules, and that there is no place for traditional methodological ideas such as objectivity and rationality in his philosophy.

indeed, they do not exist in science or non-science as well.

however, I claim that there are some well-established methodological rules that he accepts.

Feyerabend calls on us to adopt them, the most important of which are the principle of abundance of theories.
