Feyerabend, since his thesis on "Epistemological Anarchism", which he qualifies as "an excellent medicine for Epistemology and Philosophy of Science", intends to criticize the orientation and social function of science in our days, by casting doubt on its status of privilege among the rest of the forms of knowledge and the rational character of the scientific method. With the support of the History of Science he observes, as a sign of intellectual maturity and freedom, and as an exclusion of every attempt of theoretic unification, the coexistence of a plurality of methods and rival theories. Science, to contribute to tolerance, critical evaluation, and to the development of creative imagination, demands from scientists to break the rules of method, to adopt alternating points of view, and to accept the proliferation of theories.
