Mit seiner aufmüpfigen Autobiographie blickt der Protagonist des »anything goes« auf die Geschichte seines Lebens zurück, das ihn vom vorlauten Bücherwurm, Gesangsstudenten und Physiker zum Wissenschaftstheoretiker, philosophischen Dadaisten und Guru des postmodernen Pluralisten werden ließ.

Work Description

Killing Time: The Autobiography of Paul Feyerabend is an autobiography by philosopher Paul Feyerabend. The book details, amongst other things, Feyerabend’s youth in Nazi-controlled Vienna, his military service, notorious academic career, and his multiple romantic conquests. The book’s title, Killing Time is a play on the homophone Feierabend, a German compound noun meaning ‘the workday’s end and the evening following it’.

Feyerabend barely managed to finish writing the book, lying in a hospital bed with an inoperable brain tumor and the left side of his body paralyzed, and he died shortly before it was released. Killing Time was first published in an Italian translation (by Alessandro de Lachenal) in 1994, with the English original as well as German (by Joachim Jung) and Spanish (by Fabián Chueca) translations following the year afterward. It is one of Feyerabend’s best-known works.
