Aangesien ek nie eerstehandse toegang het tot Feyerabend se vroeë en nog ietwat naiewe werk "Against Method" nie, 'n kommentaartjie wat iemand ('n kritikus van Feyerabend http://nsom.bu.edu/~pniower/pages/f.htm ) geskryf het: 'n Ander lekker kort opsomming van Feyerabend se argumente rondom Galileo verskyn by http://www.aquinas-multimedia.com/catherine/galileo.html ('n Katolieke blad) waar sy referaat "Galileo and the Tyranny of Truth" bespreek word (later gepubliseer in "Farewell to Reason".

My guru William Blake stel bostaande so: "And every Space that a Man views around his dwelling-place Standing on his own roof or in his garden on a mount Of twenty five cubits in height, such space is his Universe: And on its verge the Sun rises & sets, the Clouds bow To meet the flat Earth & the Sea in such an order'd Space: The Starry heavens reach no further, but here bend and set on all sides, & the two Poles turn on their valves of gold: And if he move his dwelling-place, his heavens also move Where'er he goes, & all his neighbourhood bewail his loss. Such are the Spaces called Earth & such its dimension. As to that false appearance which appears to the reasoner As of a Globe rolling thro' Voidness, it is a delusion of Ulro.
