  • "Killing Time is the story of an extraordinary life. Finished only weeks before Paul Feyerabend's death, it is the self-portrait of one of this century's most original and influential intellectuals. Trained in physics and astronomy, Feyerabend was best known as a philosopher of science. But he emphatically was not a builder of theories or a writer of rules. Rather, his fame was in powerful, plain-spoken critiques of "big" science and "big" philosophy. In landmark essays and books, and in legendary lectures delivered from Berlin to Berkeley, Feyerabend gave voice to a radically democratic "epistemological anarchism": he argued forcefully that there is not one way to knowledge but many principled paths; not one truth or one rationality but different, competing pictures of the workings of the world. "Anything goes," he said about the ways of science in his most famous book, Against Method. And he meant it."
  • "Histoire de la vie du philosophe Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994), aussi riche en idées qu'en amours, et de ses rencontres avec le siècle (de l'Allemagne nazie à l'Europe moderne en passant par la Californie de la fin des années 60)."
  • "Autobiografie van de Duitse wetenschapsfilosoof (1924-1994)."
