Abstract

Paul K Feyerabend’s engagement with physics started before his engagement with philosophy, and he continued to think about new developments in physics until the end. To understand Feyerabend’s philosophy, therefore, it is crucial to understand his views on physics, many of which have remained unpublished until now. Doing so pays off, not only in helping us to understand the history of philosophy of science, but also insofar as it opens up new resources for contemporary philosophy of physics. The papers collected in this special issue demonstrate just how impactful such a project can be. This special issue arrives in two parts, each collecting four papers. The first half was published in 2022. This is the introduction for the second half.
