Abstract
The paper tracks Feyerabend's evolving and recurring commitment to varieties of realism and traces it to a multiplicity of rich intellectual and scientific environments in Vienna, Great Britain, North America and Switzerland. The paper also tracks its varying significance, from empiricism to ontology and politics of action. The account relies on a revision, through the prism of the question and conceptions of realism, of narratives about turn-of-the-century Viennese philosophy, logical empiricism –and its legacy– and, even more novel, intellectual and geographical, Viennese-American and German-American, connections: a historical tangle of idealism, realism and pragmatism. The roster of relevant figures includes Mach, Schlick, Carnap, Frank, Neurath, Einstein, Popper, Kraft, Hollitscher, Feigl, Pap, Lenzen, R.W. Sellars, W. Sellars, Kuhn, Bohm and Primas.
