Paul Feyerabend and China

This article is a discussion of the relationship between Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994) and China. On the one hand, China had a significant influence on Feyerabend although he had never been to China. On the other hand, Feyerabend has had an impact on China. However, Feyerabend praised and glorified Chinese tradition and China at the expense of misunderstanding and misinterpreting them. His freedom of expression was restricted and infringed in China although Feyerabend expressed his love for Mao, Maoism, CPC, China and Chinese tradition. His philosophy of physics and study of ancient Greek philosophy should be given more importance in China so that Chinese philosophers can research and understand his philosophy in whole.
