The Tyranny Of Science by Paul Feyerabend
A trenchant critique of the elevation of scientific methods and institutions to unquestioned authority, arguing that rigid methodological rules and the cultural dominance of 'science' amount to a form of intellectual and political domination; it defends epistemological pluralism, shows how creativity and progress often arise from irregular, historically contingent practices, and calls for greater public scrutiny, tolerance of alternative traditions, and a more democratic, less dogmatic approach to knowledge and policy.
