Karl Popper Navigation Karl Popper Political Philosophy Philosophy of Science Criticisms ... Main Index POPPER, Sir Karl Raimund (1902-1994) The following pages are designed to provide an introduction to the work of the philosopher Karl Popper. Few philosophers have been so influential in so many diverse fields but his works on the philosophy of science and later in political philosophy are masterpeices of thought and have revolutionised our understanding. Biography and Views Austrian born British philosopher whose considerable reputation rests on his philosophy of science and his political philosophy. He left Vienna in 1937 and taught philosophy at Canterbury University, New Zealand (1937-1945); and then was reader (1945-1948) and later professor (1949-1969) at the London School of Economics. Associated with the Vienna Circle in his youth and shared their interest in distinguishing between science and other activities. He became critical of their logical positivism and their views on meaning and verification. He did not think that it was possible to approach any philosophical problem by an analysis of language or meaning, nor did he see the success of science in terms of its being more verifiable than other branches of thought like ethics or metephysics. Popper took the opinion that it is impossible to verify or even confirm a universal scientific theory with any positive degree of probability. All that can be done is to disprove a universal theory. Whilst no number of observations can confirm a hypothesis only one observation will refute a hypothesis. Thus was born the concept of

The dominant philosophical group in Vienna from its inception in 1928 was the Wiener Kreis Logik der Forschung in 1934. The book - which he was later to claim rang the death knell for logical positivism - attracted more attention than Popper had anticipated, and he was invited to lecture in England in 1935. He spent the next few years working productively on science and philosophy, but storm clouds were gathering - the growth of Nazism in Germany and Austria compelled him, like many other intellectuals who shared his Jewish origins, to leave his native country. In 1937 Popper took up a position teaching philosophy at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, where he was to remain for the duration of the Second World War. The annexation of Austria in 1938 became the catalyst which prompted him to refocus his writings on social and political philosophy. In 1946 he moved to England to teach at the London School of Economics, and became professor of logic and scientific method at the University of London in 1949. From this point on Popper's reputation and stature as a philosopher of science and social thinker grew enormously, and he continued to write prolifically - a number of his works, particularly

When I read in the invitation that I was supposed, so the letter runs, «to give a lecture on the area of Karl Popper and Aquinas», I realized that the task was not an easy one, even for a person like me who considers himself as a Thomist and has worked for thirty years on the philosophy of Sir Karl Popper. Indeed, it is difficult to find two authors so different as Aquinas and Popper. They differ widely in their religious beliefs, in their interests, in their methods and in their conclusions. Empirical science, which plays a central role in Popper's entire philosophy, was almost nonexistent in Aquinas' times.

Home Introduction Szasz Materials Debates ... Sir Karl Popper (1902-1994) was Professor of Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Among his works are The Spell of Plato and The High Tide of Prophecy: Hegel, Marx, and the Aftermath , the two volumes of The Open Society and Its Enemies (Princeton Paperbacks), The Logic of Scientific Discovery The Poverty of Historicism , and Conjectures and Refutations . The Popper books not all of them have been translated into 37 languages by now. JAS Fallowfield, Manor Road, PENN, Buckinghamshire. July 20th 1961. My dear Doctor Szasz, Thank you very much for sending me your truly admirable book, The Myth of Mental Illness . Although my eyesight makes reading difficult, I found it so fascinating that I read it at one go. It is a most important book, and it marks a real revolution. Besides, it is written in that only too rare spirit of a man who wants to be understood rather than to impress. I feel certain that you will take it as a re- affirmation of my admiration of your great work if I indicate here, though only very sketchily, some criticism. (1) Although you have been very successful in resisting modern fashions of doubtful value, and especially the terrible ephemerally-modern jargon of modern books in this field, I do think that you have [not] entirely escaped from the seductions and temptations of a school of thought which I have dubbed 'instrumentalism' and described in my article on Berkeley in the BJPS IV, 1953, pp. 26 ff. (I have criticized it more fully in my contribution to volume iii of

sense of justified true belief, to be unobtainable. After the Anschluss , Popper was stimulated by the problem of why democracies had succumbed to totalitarianism and applied his critical rationalism to political philosophy. Since we have no infallible ways of getting or maintaining good government, or the just invites tyranny disguised under those principles. By contrast, a prudently constructed open society constructs institutions to ensure that any regime can be ousted without violence, no matter what higher ends it proclaims itself to be seeking.

Popper, Karl (Raimund) Austrian philosopher of science. His theory of falsificationism says that although scientific generalizations cannot be conclusively verified, they can be conclusively falsified by a counterinstance; therefore, science is not certain knowledge but a series of 'conjectures and refutations', approaching, though never reaching, a definitive truth. For Popper, psychoanalysis and Marxism are falsifiable and therefore unscientific. One of the most widely read philosophers of the century, Popper's book The Open Society and its Enemies 1945 became a modern classic. In it he investigated the long history of attempts to formulate a theory of the state. Animated by a dislike of the views of Freud and Marx, Popper believed he could show that their hypotheses about hidden social and psychological processes were falsifiable. His major work on the philosophy of science is The Logic of Scientific Discovery 1935. Other works include The Poverty of Historicism 1957 (about the philosophy of social science), Conjectures and Refutations 1963, and Objective Knowledge 1972. Born and educated in Vienna, Popper served for a while as an assistant to the psychologist Alfred Adler before emigrating to New Zealand in 1937. Returning to Europe, he became a naturalized British subject 1945 and was professor of logic and scientific method at the London School of Economics 1949-69. He opposed Wittgenstein's view that philosophical problems are merely pseudoproblems. Popper's view of scientific practice has been criticized by T S Kuhn and other writers.

Sir Karl Popper Sir Karl was a Professor of Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics for 23 years. In his book about Popper, Bryan Magee said: "... philosophy [according to Popper] is a necessary activity because we, all of us, take a great number of things for granted, and many of these assumptions are of a philosophical character; we act on them in private life, in politics, in our work, and in every other sphere of our lives - but while some of these assumptions are no doubt true, it is likely, that more are false and some are harmful. So the critical examination of our presuppositions - which is a philosophical activity - is morally as well as intellectually important." Popper was born in Vienna. While early on he espoused left wing politics, he swung around in the thirties and found himself at variance with the prevailing philosophical thought, logical positivism (see Comte ). From 1937-1945, Popper taught philosophy at the University of New Zealand. In 1946, he came to England, however, Popper's theories continued to be unacceptable to the establishment; neither Oxford, nor Cambridge, wanted him as a professor, eventually though, Popper did find his spot at the London School. Popper was knighted in 1965. Popper, in his philosophy, offers a solution to

Notebooks Karl Popper, 19021994 (Sat Oct 24 23:36:56 1998) Austrian-English philosopher, dead, alas, just as I began these notebooks. Popper was primarily a philosopher of science; his system, that of ``conjectures and refutations,'' of falsification, was elegant, coherent, and basically right-headed. Similar to that of such earlier methodologists as William Whewell and Claude Bernard (as Popper was among the first to admit), it was one of only three which, in this century, actual scientists have bothered to pay attention to, and easily the best of them, both in its intellectual quality and its effects. (The other two were the system of Kuhn, who set out to turn Popper upside down; and Machian positivism and its descendants, including the Vienna Circle of logical positivists , who Popper hung out with, but on many important points disagreed with. Positivism was restrictive but, aside from encouraging the behaviorists, mostly harmless; the latter, through no fault of Kuhn's own, has led to no good at all. - Of course, many scientists have been forced to pay attention to dialectical materialism, but on purely prudential, not intellectual, grounds; that doesn't count.) Even now, querying scientists about what they're up to is very likely to provoke more or less Popperian responses. That said, there are enough problems with it that I, for one, can't really accept it, and there are very few proper Popperians left among professional philosophers of science. On the other hand, his critism of such pretenders to scientific status as Marxism, the ``sociology of knowledge'' and, especially
