Summary/Abstract: The article is intended to present Feyerabend’s attitude towards the nature of science. One of his interests in philosophy of science is the study of scientific development and of scientific research. Anthropological and dadaistic aspects are revealed as presuppositions of such research. These presuppositions help to show the context of other experiences of evaluation. Such a context does not give an exceptional status to science. History of science, anthropology, investigation of art reveals the same nature of changes. These changes are not rationally deduced from earlier situations of science, but they create their own situations. Such creation of science is human and often subjective. Feyerabend strives for an open development of science and the human being.
