ABSTRACT
As we saw at the end of the previous chapter, in his later years Feyerabend completely abandoned the radical position he had been strenuously advocating in the preceding decades. He clearly highlighted how incommensurability does not represent – for science as well as for philosophy – an insurmountable problem but, at most, a difficulty. For sure, it is a difficulty that can be quite serious at times, but not overwhelming; it demands effort and engagement, but in so doing it welcomes and encourages critical discussion rather than banning it.
