Against Method: Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge by Paul Karl Feyerabend
But in an era where workers’ rights have been massively eviscerated, scientific research grotesquely corporatized, and in which a radically anti-rational American right has used its influence to prevent environmental justice and declare unilateral war in the Middle East, the argument that science fails to serve society just doesn’t stand.

The idea is to discredit empirical met Feyerabend, Kuhn and Edward de Bono published within short intervals of each other circa s, with practically indistinguishable platforms.
Aristotelians assumed that the fact that a stone which is dropped from a tower lands directly beneath it shows that the earth is stationary.
One must also assume that science owes its success to the correct method and not merely to a lucky accident [italics in original].
