We analyse insufficient epistemic pluralism and associated problems in science-based policy advice during the COVID-19 pandemic drawing on specific arguments in Paul Feyerabend's philosophy. Our goal is twofold: to deepen our understanding of the epistemic shortcomings in science-based policy during the pandemic, and to assess the merits and problems of Feyerabend's arguments for epistemic pluralism as well as their relevance for policy-making. We discuss opportunities and challenges of integrating a plurality of viewpoints from within and outside science into policy advice thus contributing to discussions about normative issues concerning evidence and expertise in policy-making.
我们借鉴保罗·费耶阿本德哲学中的特定观点，分析了新冠疫情期间基于科学的政策建议中认知多元主义不足及相关问题。我们的目标有两个：一是加深对疫情期间基于科学的政策中认知缺陷的理解，二是评估费耶阿本德关于认知多元主义论点的优缺点及其与政策制定的相关性。我们讨论了将科学内外的多种观点纳入政策建议的机遇与挑战，从而为有关政策制定中证据和专业知识的规范性问题的讨论做出贡献。
