Books like Objective Knowledge by Karl Popper


The essays in this volume represent an approach to human knowledge that has had a profound influence on many recent thinkers. Popper breaks with a traditional commonsense theory of knowledge that can be traced back to Aristotle. A realist and fallibilist, he argues closely and in simple language that scientific knowledge, once stated in human language, is no longer part of ourselves but a separate entity that grows through critical selection.

The Philosophy of Karl Popper by 10565965|Herbert Keuth book cover

📘 The Philosophy of Karl Popper
 by Herbert Keuth

"Karl Popper is one of the greatest and most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Perhaps his greatest book, The Logic of Scientific Discovery, sets out his epistemology of critical rationalism, while his most famous book, The Open Society and Its Enemies, applies the principles of critical rationalism to social philosophy." "This book is more comprehensive than any current introduction to Popper. Owing to its perspicuous structure and lucid exposition, it could be used in courses in both the philosophy of science and the philosophy of social science."--BOOK JACKET
