In an essay of the early sixties, Feyerabend presented his point of view as a resumption of certain aspects of Kant's philosophy. He rejected the idea of absolutely valid transcendental conditions of knowledge, but retained that of all-pervasive theoretical assumptions as ways of looking at the world: "what is regarded as "nature" at a particular time is our own product in the sense that all features ascribed to it have first been invented by us and then used for bringing order into our surroundings".1 This idea is partly incorporated in the network model which I just introduced, since in the network model, while our cognitive claims are empirically testable, a considerable role is set aside for linguistic, theoretical and methodological-axiological epistemic conditions.
