Description
This book provides an introduction to the life and work of Karl Popper with guides to the key ideas in five of his books. Popper lived a long and productive life, leaving a score of books including two which have the status of classics. The Logic of Scientific Discovery transformed the philosophy of science and The Open Society and its Enemies is a profound critique of ideas which confuse and divide the friends of freedom. Most likely Popper will eventually be a household name among educated people but his profile is so low in the universities at present that some of his books are kept in print by a lay readership.
