«In this book Feyerabend teaches that the relativist must doubt above all his or her own relativism; that philosophy fills the world with illusions, but that scientists should be a bit more like philosophers; that there is no physical or intellectual tyranny that cannot be resisted, even if carried out in the name of good» (Giulio Giorello). «These Lezioni trentine are suitable both for specialists and the public at large who may question the role and responsibility of science in our lives. Feyerabend is unconstrained, brilliant, profound, cultured. He gives the best of himself» (Marcello Pera).
