Miskatonic University PressFrom “Mitteleuropa am Aldwych” by Ian Hacking, a 20 January 2000 review in the London Review of Books (22, no. 2) of For and Against Method by Paul Feyerabend (whose book Against Method first came out in 1975) and Imre Lakatos:
Dada-freak though he was, Feyerabend could also bring order when we need it: he wrote wonderful indexes to his books; indeed there are completely different indexes to the first and third editions of Against Method, each reflecting what he wanted the reader to know.
Hacking, always a very sharp observer, has more to say about who is indexed. He ends the review with:
Lakatos and Feyerabend were fascinating, irritating individuals. Thank goodness for the Britain and America that gave them succour, but we should also thank our lucky stars for the folly, excesses and genuine insights of these escapees from the ruins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
