Summary/Abstract: Uainf special historical cases – the Lithuanian rebellion in 1863, Algis Uždavinys and Herodot stories –, the article discusses the non-conformity position of Paul Feyerabend. A freelyh engaged non-conformity position does not reconcile oneself to the conformity of school-dogmatism. It performs critical reflection duties in the society. In this named respect the position of the non-conformity stimulates the interest of free science and thus it develops curiuos investigations of the concrete historical situation. Contrary to the school-dogmatism, which bases oneself on the one dimensional truth of the specific scientific school, nonconformity takes root in a self cognition and it leans on the understanding of the particular social context which is free from dogmatic methodologies of the slave science.
