Updated October 2024
January 2024 marked 100 years from the birth of Paul K. Feyerabend. Throughout the year, events have been taking place in various continents to remember and celebrate Paul, as both a loved person and one of the Twentieth Century’s unique thinkers. The calendar of events and their descriptions are available from the pkf centennial website, which also includes original audiovisual recordings nowhere else available; pkf biographical and bibliographical information, memoirs and testimonials; information about the new volumes and translations of pkf’s work; publications about pkf produced in 2024 in many languages; and a selection of quotes, released every week throughout the year. The web site also includes streaming links and recorded videos of events, radio programmes, special issues of journals, and even excerpts of What Reality? — a cycle of seven songs for soprano voice and piano composed in Paul’s memory. The title of the cycle is borrowed from an article in Conquest of Abundance, pkf’s last and posthumous work, which also served as inspiration for the lyrics.

The events will continue to take place until 13 January 2025, when there will be a closing appointment online.
