About

In the Spring of 2020, two co-conveners of the PKF Centennial starting contacting Paul’s friends, colleagues, students, publishers as well as Feyerabend scholars and invited them to exchange ideas about suitable ways to mark the centennial of his birth.  Soon, an international PKF Centennial committee was formed.  Among the many initiatives that it spurred, the committee conceived this 'centennial web site'.  The co-conveners remained in charge of it, with Matteo Collodel playing the main role.  In time, Gerrit Tiefenthal also came to contribute, including by translating many memoirs from the German original.  

Since its inception, the international committee has been gathering online at least twice a year.  Its members include:

• Mike Stuart (University of York, UK/London School of Economics, UK), coordinator of the Committee and event coordinator for Asia
