Episode 77: Against Method? - Two Psychologists Four Beer...

What this episode covers

Alexa and Yoel tackle Paul Feyerabend, the wild man of philosophy of science. What can we learn from his "anything goes" argument for methodological anarchy? We go deep on the first five chapters of Feyerabend's most famous work, "Against Method," and discuss his (maybe not entirely serious) arguments for extreme theory proliferation, ignoring the data, and Chinese herbal medicine. Also, we discuss which Christmas album is superior: Sia or Dolly Parton.Links:Two Psychologists Four Beers on Untappd Sia's Christmas Album Dolly Parton's Christmas Album Baller Christmas Tree Greenwald's Paper on Theory Controversies
