Against Method

Paul Feyerabend
RivaRiva

Enjoyed reading Feyerabend back in 2018 but my philosophical views have aligned significantly more with his since the first read. We need epistemological anarchism more than ever. If you’re into improving your mental models, pick up Against Method: https://www.amazon.com/Against-Method-Paul-Feyerabend/dp/1844674428 https://twitter.com/rivatez/status/1225803949610897408
