'This is a brave, direct, competent, insightful and sympathetic
exposition of the total output of one of the best-known, most
admired, least comprehended philosophers of the second half of the
twentieth century. It is a fair critical assessment of Feyerabend's
work as intriguing and inspired but as falling short of his goal.'
Joseph Agassi, York University, Ontario, Canada
'Preston provides a sympathetic but critical account of
Feyerabend's work. The scope is comprehensive and the treatment is
fair-minded, sensible and thoroughly professional. The content is
certainly better than anything I have encountered on Feyerabend. It
can be read by those who have not read Feyerabend and by those
whose acquaintance with philosophy of science is limited or
non-existent.' William Newton-Smith, Balliol College,
Oxford
'John Preston has done us a signal service in charting the chages in Feyerabend's thought and in sympathetically explaining why he thought what he did.' Mind
