Famous quotes containing the word feyerabend:

    There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

    Copernicanism and other essential ingredients of modern science survived only because reason was frequently overruled in their past.
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

    The only principle that does not inhibit progress is: anything goes.
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
