| Method: a method is a procedure agreed on by participants of a discussion or research project.

Galileo Galilei on Method - Dictionary of Arguments
Feyerabend I 201 Galileo/Feyerabend: he has introduced refuted theories so that they support each other. He has replaced old facts with novel experience, which he invented straight away! >Theories, >Evidence, >Science, >Fake, cf. >False information. I 203 Method/Galileo/Theory/Science/Feyerabend: Galileo's method also works in other fields. It can, for example, be used to exclude the existing arguments against materialism, thus burying the philosophical body-soul problem (the corresponding scientific problems, on the other hand, remain unaffected). >Mind Body Problem, >Materialism. Nevertheless, their universal applicability in the sciences is not yet an argument in their favor. There are both ethical and scientific reasons that occasionally force us to proceed quite differently. Galileo/Feyerabend: he made progress by changing unfamiliar links between words (he introduced new terms) and between words and perceptions (he introduced new natural interpretations). He also introduced new and unusual principles: the Law of Inertia and the general principle of relativity. >Principles, >Laws, >Laws of Nature._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
