Feyerabend

 Anything goes’ refers to a scientist's ability to test new theories regardless of the fact
they have been ‘disproven’ by an existing accepted theory
 Feyerabend argues against the idea of a universal scientific method and challenges the
notion that there should be a fixed set of rules governing the scientific process. His
famous phrase "anything goes" reflects his belief that there should be no strict
methodological constraints on scientific research. He contends that progress is hindered
when scientists adhere too strictly to a dominant paradigm or when they suppress
alternative perspectives. Feyerabend encourages a more pluralistic and open-minded
approach to scientific investigation, suggesting that the diversity of methodologies and
theories can lead to richer insights and discoveries.
 Feyerabend uses historical examples, such as the coexistence of the wave theory and
particle theory of light, to illustrate how scientific progress often involves the acceptance
and testing of multiple, sometimes conflicting, theories.
Feyerabend's main point is a call for intellectual freedom in scientific inquiry, a rejection of rigid
methodological rules, and an appreciation for the diversity of approaches that can contribute to
scientific progress. Feyerabend's commitment to epistemological anarchism is an attempt to rid
the scientific community of people committed to logic so
