Paul Feyerabend’s globally acclaimed work, which sparked and continues to stimulate fierce debate, examines the deficiencies of many widespread ideas about scientific progress and the nature of knowledge. Feyerabend argues that scientific advances can only be understood in a historical context. He looks at the way the philosophy of science has consistently overemphasized practice over method, and considers the possibility that anarchism could replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge.

By calling everything into doubt, Descartes laid the foundations of modern philosophy. With the celebrated words "I think therefore I am," his compelling argument swept aside ancient and medieval traditions. He deduced that human beings consist of minds and bodies; that these are totally distinct "substances"; that God exists and that He ensures we can trust the evidence of our senses.

Many believe that discoveries arise by chance or serendipity. The Engine of Scientific Discovery illustrates, for the first time, how we can actively speed up the pace of new breakthroughs by developing better methods and tools of discovery which enable us to see and think in entirely new ways. New tools are the lenses through which we discover what we often did not even know existed: improved microscopes uncovered microorganisms and viruses, x-ray methods exposed the structure of DNA, particle accelerators detected subatomic particles, and advanced telescopes revealed galaxies.

This book describes what happens when someone completes the full journey: all the way up to the limit of formal generalisation, a clear look at the structural landscape, and all the way back down with a map.

The theories and techniques used by teachers to allow pupil learning is included in the teaching methods. These approaches are calculated in portion by the content to be studied and besides by the learner's temperament. To be suitable and profitable for a specific teaching method, it must be related to the learner's characteristics and the species of learning it is assumed to bring about. There are guidelines for developing and choosing teaching methods that need to take into consideration not only the complexity of the subject but also how students are learning.
