In the course of a life of ninety years Sir Karl can look back on positive changes in the world - the vast reductions in mass poverty, the liberalization of penal systems, the defeat of dictatorships. The search for a better world is never complete, but in spite of two world wars and a long and dangerous cold war, it was not in vain. The essays and lectures collected in this book chart many familiar as well as some less known aspects of Sir Ka...

Karl Popper gehört zu den einflußreichsten Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das thematische Spektrum seiner Schriften reicht von der Wissenschaftstheorie über die Methodologie der Sozialwissenschaften bis hin zu politischen Stellungnahmen gegen totalitäre Gefährdungen der Demokratie. Dieser interdisziplinären Ausrichtung liegt ein einheitlicher Denkansatz zugrunde: der kritische Rationalismus als eine Theorie sozialen Lernens. Das Potential d...

Was unterscheidet wissenschaftliche Hypothesen von pseudowissenschaftlichen Theorien? Und wie geht die wissenschaftliche Forschung vor? Kaum jemand hat die philosophische Diskussion über diese Fragen so stark geprägt wie Popper. Im vorliegenden klassischen Aufsatz fasst er die Entwicklung seiner Beiträge zur Wissenschaftsphilosophie zusammen. Der Band enthält den Text im englischen Original und in der deutschen, von Popper durchgesehenen Sta...

Here, Popper's ideas are expressed with a beguiling simplicity and with considerable humour and charm. The enthusiasm (and, occasionally, puzzlement) of the original audience is preserved in the records of discussions following each lecture. The volume serves as an excellent introduction to Popper's later thought for those who think philosophy beyond them.' -- Roger Caldwell, "Literary Review" Based on lectures given in 1969 by Sir Karl Popper...

I want to begin by declaring that I regard scientific knowledge as the most important kind of knowledge we have', writes Sir Karl Popper in the opening essay of this book, which collects his meditations on the real improvements science has wrought in society, in politics and in the arts in the course of the twentieth century. His subjects range from the beginnings of scientific speculation in classical Greece to the destructive effects of twen...

Written in political exile during the Second World War and first published in 1945, Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. Hailed by Bertrand Russell as a 'vigorous and profound defence of democracy', its now legendary attack on the philosophies of Plato, Hegel and Marx exposed the dangers inherent in centrally planned political systems. Popper's highly accessible style, hi...

One of the most important books of the twentieth century, The Open Society and Its Enemies is an uncompromising defense of liberal democracy and a powerful attack on the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. An immediate sensation when it was first published, Karl Popper's monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right. Tracing the roots of an authoritarian tradition represented by Plato, Marx, and Hegel, Po...

Nel corso della sua lunga vita Karl Popper ha più volte avuto modo di sintetizzare, in brevi e icastiche frasi, le sue convinzioni teoriche più profonde. In una di queste ha affermato: «Io sono, in primo luogo, indeterminista, in secondo luogo, realista, in terzo luogo, razionalista». Per presentare le tesi dei difensori del determinismo e quelle proprie degli indeterministi, è ricorso a una efficace metafora: quella delle nuvole e degli orolo...

«Se una teoria filosofica non fosse altro che un'assunzione isolata intorno al mondo, proposta con un "prendere o lasciare", senza alcun cenno a un suo nesso con qualsiasi altro oggetto, essa risulterebbe effettivamente al di là di ogni discussione. Ma lo stesso potrebbe dirsi anche di una teoria empirica. Se qualcuno si presentasse con le equazioni di Newton o anche con i suoi stessi ragionamenti, senza spiegare prima quali erano i problemi c...
