About this title: In this posthumous book, intended for general readers, Feyerabend focuses on the ways human beings abstract principles from a world too abundant for them to understand--or even truly apprehend--in its more natural state. Looking at the history of science's attempts to describe the world through theorems and laws, Feyerabend tallies the gains and losses those attempts have produced.
