Objective Knowledge: An Evolutionary Approach by Karl R. Popper (1972)

leese | Nov 23, 2009 |

One of THE classics in the philosophy of science. I defy you to read this without agreeing vehemently. And disagreeing just as vehemently. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0198750242, Paperback)

The 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.
