Following the publication of Feyerabend’s Formative Years. Volume 1. Feyerabend and Popper (Springer, 2019), the aim of this project is to complete the Feyerabend’s Formative Years collection with two additional monographs: Volume 2. Feyerabend, Logical Empiricism, Bohm and Kuhn and Volume 3. Feyerabend and the Popperian School.Volume 2 collects Paul Feyerabend’s early unpublished papers and correspondences with and about opponents to Popper’s critical rationalism, such as Rudolf Carnap and logical empiricists, as well as David Bohm and Thomas Kuhn. It contains in-depth , often multi-party, discussions that vary across a variety of intriguing topics, from analytic philosophy and logical empiricism to interpretations of Quantum mechanics and Kuhn’s historical approach. On the whole, these documents are structured chronologically, and begin with Feyerabend’s transition from a student to a professional and cover his early intellectual development, through to his influential 1960s ideas about scientific revolutions and incommensurable theories and the Kuhnian ‘historical turn’ in philosophy of science.Volume 3 collects Feyerabend’s correspondence with three prominent members of Karl Popper’s critical rationalist school: Joseph Agassi (1954-1985), John Watkins (1960-1987) and Imre Lakatos (1864-1967); together with a 1960 draft of what became Feyerabend’s most important paper “Explanation, Reduction and Empiricism” (1962). The discussions reveal Feyerabend’s complex and fluid relation to fellow former students and proponents of Popper’s philosophy, while shedding light on a wide range of contentious issues. Introductions to both volumes will situate the diverse material in context and highlight the main issues under discussion, and an extensive editorial apparatus will provide a wealth of background information about the ideas, events, institutions, literature and people discussed. While the primary material for both volumes has already been collected and arranged (with two exceptions) and was already submitted with the final report for OB 331/2-2, substantial editorial work is still required before the two books are finished, as specified in that report and in much more detail in section 2.3 WORK PROGRAMME below. Upon completion, both additional books will be published in Springer’s Vienna Circle Institute Library series edited by Friedrich Stadler (Vienna).

《费耶阿本德的形成年代》（Feyerabend's Formative Years）第1卷Feyerabend和Popper（Springer，2019年），该项目的目的是完成Feyerabend的《成长岁月》系列，并增加两本专著：第2卷。费耶阿本德，逻辑经验主义，玻姆和库恩和第3卷。费耶阿本德和波普尔学派。第2卷收集了保罗·费耶阿本德早期未发表的论文以及与波普尔批判理性主义的反对者，如鲁道夫·卡尔纳普和逻辑批判主义者，以及大卫·玻姆和托马斯·库恩的通信。它包含了深入的，往往是多方的，在各种有趣的主题，从分析哲学和逻辑唯物主义到量子力学和库恩的历史方法的解释不同的讨论。总的来说，这些文件是按时间顺序结构的，开始与费耶阿本德的过渡，从一个学生到一个专业，并涵盖了他的早期智力发展，通过他的影响力20世纪60年代的科学革命和不可否认的理论和库恩的“历史转向”的科学哲学的想法。第3卷收集费耶阿本德的通信与三个突出成员卡尔波普尔的批判理性主义学校：约瑟夫·阿加西（1954-1985），约翰·沃特金斯（1960-1987）和伊姆雷·拉卡托斯（1864-1967）;连同1960年费耶阿本德最重要的论文《解释、还原和经验主义》（1962）的草稿。这些讨论揭示了费耶阿本德与波普尔哲学的前学生和支持者之间复杂而不稳定的关系，同时也揭示了一系列有争议的问题。两卷的介绍将在上下文中介绍各种材料，并突出讨论中的主要问题，广泛的编辑设备将提供有关思想，事件，机构，文学和讨论的人的丰富背景信息。虽然两卷的主要材料已经收集和整理（两个例外），并已与OB 331/2-2的最终报告一起提交，但在两卷完成之前仍需要大量的编辑工作，如该报告所述，并在下文第2.3节工作计划中详细说明。完成后，这两个额外的书籍将出版在施普林格的维也纳圈研究所图书馆系列由弗里德里希施泰德（维也纳）编辑。
