“…Feyerabend's early criticism targets: theoretical monism, the view that the reduction (or elimination) of concurring scientific theories is an indication of scientific progress; instrumentalism, the view that scientific theories are only predictive devices; and conceptual conservatism, an umbrella term introduced by Oberheim (2006) to collect several arguments devised to constrain future conceptual development by appeal to allegedly stable structures of components of our knowledge and language. Feyerabend goes to great length to show that the adoption of these views indirectly or directly decreases the testability of scientific theories and should therefore be opposed by 'good empiricists' (Feyerabend, 1963).…”

“…Aquí especialistas como George Couvalis, Gonzalo Munévar, Eric Oberheim, y Hoyningen-Huenen ponen de manifiesto las erróneas interpretaciones de Preston, así como el carácter incompleto de sus investigaciones (cf. COUVALIS, 1999, p. 206;MUNÉVAR, 1999, p. 216;OBERHEIM;HOYNINGEN-HUENE, 1999, p. 226). No obstante, ninguna de estas recensiones críticas se ocupa de sus últimas obras, y menos aún ofrece una visión de conjunto que permita comprender los verdaderos problemas que intenta resolver nuestro epistemólogo.…”

“…Es necesario destacar otros trabajos posteriores como el de Farrell (2003) y Eric Oberheim (2006), quienes esbozan una visión global de su itinerario filosófico. Ambos dan una caracterización completa de su obra en cuanto que abarcan las tesis que nuestro pensador desarrolló hasta sus últimos años.…”

“…First, the specific educational proposals are regarded with suspicion, being criticised, albeit politely, as being a mixture of ‘good‐natured libertarianism [and] overreaction to positivist models of science’ (Cordero, , p. 20). Second, the wider political ideas which inform those proposals have met with similar scepticism, being judged by Feyerabend scholars as being of much less value than his contributions to the history and philosophy of science (see, for instance, Oberheim, , p. 22 and Preston, , Chapter 10).…”
