GOMES, Andréia Patrícia; SIQUEIRA-BATISTA, Rodrigo  and  REGO, Sergio. Epistemological anarchism of Paul Karl Feyerabend and medical education. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.01, pp.39-45. ISSN 1981-5271.

The thoughts of the philosopher Paul Karl Feyerabend brought important contributions to the debate on Science in the 20th century. Most recently his views about non-existence of a single method for doing science have been employed to rethink science education and propose the use of multiple methods for effective teaching-learning process. This article employs the theoretical framework of the author expressed in the book Against Method, 1977, about the epistemological anarchism and the methodological pluralism and uses it in the contemporary discussion of medical education.
