ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that Paul Feyerabend's Against Method reflects sola spiritus applied to scientific method. Feyerabend's thesis is that: the events, procedures and results that constitute the sciences have no common structure; there are no elements that occur in every scientific investigation but are missing elsewhere. The absence of the spirit from the hermeneutical spiral means a lifeless repetition of the word by the tradition. The absence of the word means the domination of either enthusiasm or anarchy in the tradition. The absence of tradition means a primitivistic, biblicistic, fundamentalistic, and enthusiastic orientation. The word in conjunction with spirit and community means that Scripture is a heuristic norm on the one hand, and that it is delivered from its ideological captivity by those who would claim to be solely biblical on the other. The primary rationale for the hermeneutical trialectic is the pneumatologically driven doctrine of trinitarian perichoresis.
