Book, Dialogues On Knowledge[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Feyerabend's ideas aroused great interest and the most heated controversies in scientific and academic circles due to the challenging critical stance of this philosopher who gained renown from the 1960s onwards, when he began to dedicate himself especially to the analysis of the foundations of physical theories and scientific epistemology.. A principal acusação levantada contra suas concepções era a de ser um pregoeiro do relativismo e do anarquismo intelectual.. And the dialogues that take place in this book and that the publisher Perspectiva brings to Portuguese-speaking readers revolve precisely around these two foci. In them, the author seeks both to clarify and circumscribe the nature and scope of his viewpoints, as well as those of the concepts that support them, in order to refute the arguments of his fierce adversaries. The two Dialogues on Knowledge are above all, true literary jewels of brilliant vivacity in which cognitive activity decomposes and recomposes itself continuously, extrapolating ideas, for it is full of feeling, of passion, of desire and of hope.
