The Popper school recognized
the ideological implications of
Kuhn's philosophy and
attempted to combat it. But it
was too late. Out of the
turbulent 1960s came Paul
Feyerabend (1924-94) who
finished off the classical
epistemological approach to
the understanding of science.
In his Against Method (1975),
Feyerabend showed that any
given principle of scientific
method or scientific good
practice had been broken by
some great scientist - Galileo
was a good anarchistic
example. Indeed, there was no
such thing as "scientific
method".
