Paul Feyerabend on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
I 55 Knowledge/Science/Feyerabend: no thought is old or absurd enough that it could not improve our knowledge. The entire intellectual history is incorporated into science and used to improve every single theory. Even political influences are not rejected. They are necessary to overcome scientific chauvinism, which also turns against the introduction of alternatives. Alternatives, however, must be allowed to develop into complete subcultures, which are no longer based on science and rationalism. >Progress, >Rationalism, >Science._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
