It collects their complete surviving correspondence (1948-1967) and contains previously unpublished papers by both. An introduction situates the correspondence in its historical context by recounting how they first came to meet and an extensive editorial apparatus provides a wealth of background information along with systematic mini-biographies of persons named. Taken together, the collection presents Popper and Feyerabend?s controversial ideas against the background of the postwar academic environment. It exposes key aspects of an evolving student-mentor relationship that eventually ended amidst increasing accusations of plagiarism. Throughout, readers will find in-depth discussions on a wide range of intriguing topics, including an ongoing debate over the foundations of quantum theory and Popper?s repeated attempts to design an experiment that would test different interpretations of quantum mechanics. The captivating exchange between Feyerabend and Popper offers a valuable resource that will appeal to scientists, laymen, and a wide range of scholars: especially philosophers, historians of science and philosophy and, more generally, intellectual historians. 410 0$aVienna Circle Institute Library ;$v5 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a193 702 $aCollodel$b Matteo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOberheim$b Eric$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910390858803321 996 $aFeyerabend?s Formative Years.
