P. Feyerabend（1924－1994）的後現代研究方法論戰對教育的啟示

A Commentary on the Debate between Modernist and Postmodernist Research Methodology View Of Feyerabend (1924-1994) and its Educational Implications

Paul Feyerabend（1924－1994）為奧地利的科學哲學家，在1975年出版《反對方法》（Against Method）一書後，其中提到具爭議性的「怎樣都行」（anything goes）觀點，引起其他學者的質疑與挑戰，Feyerabend本人則提出回應。本文運用理論分析法（theoretical analysis method）和辯證法（dialectics）梳理文獻，其目的在討論與分析這場研究方法論上的論辯，而研究結果為釐清學界對Feyerabend多元主義方法論的誤解，詮釋其多元主義方法論的價值與重要性，最後並提供其理論對教育研究者與教學者的啟示。

Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994) published the book ＂Against method＂ in 1975. It contained Feyerabend's controversial ＂anything goes＂ viewpoint, which caused other scholars to question and challenge Feyerabend. And the main goal of this study is to clarify the stereotypical misconceptions about post-modernist methodology and Feyerabend's methodological pluralism. Since ＂anything goes＂ is no method at all, it followed that either we should follow a method that is not a method or reject the methodology of scientific research programmes. Thus, this study adopts the theoretical analysis method and dialectics. Finally, there are four themes : first, the explanation of what is meant by ＂postmodernism of methodology＂; second, the clarification of Feyerabend's view of ＂methodological pluralism＂ , third, the challenges and replies of Feyerabend's methodological pluralism, four, the discussion of implications for education.
