Matteo Collodel earned his PhD in Philosophy from the “Ca’ Foscari” University of Venice (Italy), with the philosophy of science as his main area of specialization and a historically-oriented dissertation on Paul Feyerabend’s idea of incommensurability (2007). Since 2009, he is qualified as a secondary school teacher in philosophy, history, psychology and the social sciences. He has also worked as a research fellow at the Humboldt University of Berlin (2008-2012) on an archival project funded by the German Research Foundation, whose main aim was to collect, transcribe and edit Feyerabend’s correspondence with Popper, Feigl, Carnap, Hempel, Kuhn, Watkins, Agassi, and Lakatos, among others. Over the last decade, he has given academic lectures and seminars on the philosophy of science and the philosophy of medicine and he has regularly contributed to major international conferences with historical studies on Feyerabend, Carnap, the “Vienna Circle”, Logical Empiricism, and the “Popperian School”, becoming gradually increasingly interested in the sociology of philosophical knowledge and, more generally, in intellectual history. He is currently working on a biography of Paul K. Feyerabend.Eric Oberheim, author of Feyerabend’s Philosophy (2006), is an internationally renowned Feyerabend scholar who has edited Feyerabend’s posthumously published The Tyranny of Science (2011) and Feyerabend’s The Philosophy of Nature (2016). He is currently working on his Habilitation at the Humboldt University of Berlin, as well as the completion of editing a series of volumes of Feyerabend’s correspondence.
