In the summer semester of 1985, Paul Feyerabend gives a lecture at ETH Zurich, where he argues that we can better understand many problems of the modern world by tracing them back to their historical roots in the intellectual world of ancient Greece. The predominantly scientific audience is not disappointed. In a deliberately anti-professor performance, filled with brilliant provocations and anecdotal digressions that reveal his profound knowledge, the enfant terrible of the philosophy of science sharpens his famous critique of Western rationalism. He particularly targets the monopoly of scientific-technical reason, with its notions of progress, truth, and objectivity, as being partly responsible for the world's imbalances. In contrast, Feyerabend advocates for an epistemological and political pluralism to address the modern problems of his time: the nuclear threat, the destruction of non-European civilizations, social upheavals, and the impending ecological catastrophe. And today? A furious journey into the 1980s, which shows, among other things, that not a few problems from yesterday are still on the agenda.
