Review
'One of the most important documents of the twentieth century.' – Peter Medawar, New Scientist
Richard Wollheim, The Observer
One of the most important philosophical works of our century
Times Literary Supplement
Professor Popper's thesis has that quality of greatness that, once seen, it appears simple and almost obvious.
Product Description
Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of 'great originality and power', this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now legendary doctrine of 'falsificationism' electrified the scientific community, influencing even working scientists, as well as post-war philosophy. This astonishing work ranks alongside The Open Society and Its Enemies as one of Popper's most enduring books and contains insights and arguments that demand to be read to this day.
