Epistemological Anarchism - Other Proponents

Other Proponents

Terence McKenna was a fan of philosophers such as Feyerabend and Thomas Kuhn. He embraced methodological pluralism but opposed monotheism, going as far as dubbing the Judeo-Christian tradition 'ignorance'.

Ian Hacking was a friend of Feyerabend's, and they corresponded with and cited each other. He wrote the introduction and praised the last edition of Against Method, quoting French philosopher Jean Largeault, who called it "more than a book: it is an event". Imre Lakatos was also a friend of Feyerabend's. The two wrote letters to each other on the philosophy of science which were published in a book called For and Against Method. While Lakatos never publicly labeled himself so, Feyerabend contended that he was a fellow epistemological anarchist. Lakatos was the one who suggested and encouraged that Feyerabend write a book based on his philosophy and the lectures he gave in his classes, which turned out to be his seminal work Against Method.
