Reviews

'All of them go beyond where Feyerabend left off, which is appropriate for a book with this subtitle. [This] is an excellent collection that has already begun to reshape our understanding of Feyerabend's contributions to philosophy, and it will continue to do so for years to come.' Michael T. Stuart, Metascience
