This volume offers new insights on key topics from some of Popper’s most important work and is essential reading for students of Popper and anyone interested in political philosophy and the philosophy of science. Additionally, they offer new evaluations on Popper’s relationship with analytic philosophy in general, and with Wittgenstein in particular, and draw on the studies of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein to assess Popper’s conception of science. The contributors also examine the current relevance of Popper to understanding liberal democracy along with his critique of tribalism. Drawing from some of Popper’s most important works, the contributors address Popper’s solution to the problem of induction and his views on conventionalism and criticism in an open society, while exploring his unique position in twentieth-century philosophy. The essays presented here, specially written for this volume, offer a fresh philosophical examination of key themes in Popper’s philosophy, including the philosophies of knowledge and science, and political philosophy. One of the most original thinkers of the twentieth century, Karl Popper inspired his own and subsequent generations of philosophers, historians and politicians. ![]()
