Killing Time, an Autobiography
Feyerabend finished writing his autobiography in the last month of his life, and the volume is a self-portrait of one of the most original and influential intellectuals of the end of the Millennium, without whom the «modern» understanding of science would have been impossible. Rarely has a man of such philosophical depth has related his life in such a honest, tender and happy way. «Paul Feyerabend was the Norman Mailer of philosophers... brilliant, daring, courageous, original and extravagant» (Richard Rorty). «The caustical verve, the studied nonchalance of one of the few true anarchists and free spirits of modern philosophy, are wonderfully revealed in this work. In the same way as Feyerabend's passion for music, and his love for love come to light. A memorable epilogue» (George Steiner). «A fascinating character, a wonderful thinker, one of the greatest philosophers of science of this strange and difficult century» (Giulio Giorello).
