Description
Sir Karl Popper's The Myth of the Framework is a collection of his most important work on science and rationality. In this new edition, he addresses key issues such as the aims of science, its role in society, and the moral responsibility of scientists. Popper critiques intellectual fashions that exaggerate or undervalue the achievements of science and rationality. He argues that scientific knowledge is a rational and creative human achievement, but also inherently fallible and subject to revision. Instead, he offers his own critical rationalism as a theory of knowledge and an attitude towards life. Published in cooperation with the Central European University, this book provides insight into Popper's critical views on science, philosophy, and society.
