5 out of 5 stars A final look into a most original mind   February 20, 2003
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

Published posthumously, The Conquest of Abundance is Feyerabend's final signpost on the journey that began with Against Method. Explicitly he challenges the notion that categorisation is the only way we can experience knowledge, and instead points us back to the richness of reality removed from the abstraction that these categories produce.
