Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe 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.

  • Considering what you know

    If you think about what you "know" then you need to read Popper. What are the elements of your knowledge? How do you structure it? These questions are considered and discussed without being overly technical or dense.
