| Summary: | After his death, Paul Feyerabend, the philosopher of science, was labeled, not altogether seriously, as "the worst enemy of science." He often favorably compared theologians to scientists, and yet there is little real comfort for theology in his writings. His anarchic epistemology is destructive for any philosophical system which wishes to retain the claim that it is scientific, truth-telling, rational, and methodical. Can theology therefore withstand this anarchic challenge? |
