The Dispel Of Scientific Rationality And Construct Multiple Thinking

Feyerabend is the chief representative of philosophy of science of post-modern."Against Method"is his magnum opus. Scientific Methodology is the core problem discussed in"Against Method". In this book he does methodological analysis to historical science and he criticizes the traditional western scientific methodology such as logical empiricism or critical rationalism. He considers most important factor is logical empiricism and raises counter-induction to completely criticize the logical empiricism"Theory is accordance with facts". Feyerabend pays more attention to criticize critical rationalism theory. The critical rationalism proofs that the demarcation standard between science and non-science is falsifiability; but Feyerabend insists that the demarcation standard between science and non-science should be cleared up. The core of critical rationalism is perjury methodology. He considers the scientific method is not induction but deduce inspection. Feyerabend retorts critical rationalism School still can't be escaped from angle of view of the logical empiricism.Basing on criticizing and transcending traditional methodology Feyerabend creats multiple methodology. Science and rationality is its theory critical premise. Feyerabend criticizes science starting from the core of science—ways. But Feyerabend doesn't stay in field of view of methodology. It turns critical methodology to political criticism. And then he raises that the nation must be separated with science in order to avoid scientific chauvinism. In Feyerabend's opinion there are three defects in rationality: 1 Exclusiveness 2 Doctrine of rules 3 Neat of common. Feyerabend advocates that reason and unreason both have rights to speak. He encourages various lifestyles and cultures.In Feyerabend's opinion there is no fixed methodology routine to follow. All the ways including obvious ways are limited. The only one left rules is"Anything goes"."There is only one principle. It can be maintained under all circumstances and in all the seedtimes of human development. The principle is anything goes."It refers to diverse methodology.Feyerabend's scientific philosophy is militant sharp, so it is controversial. He is called"A stray lamb"in first-rate scientific philosophy in western. But he is praised by some people such as post-modernists Roti.His multiple methodology undered anarchism epistemology contains some rational thoughts and great one-sided.
