Karl Popper's Philosophy Of Science

Focusing on one of the most significant figures in twentieth-century philosophy, this important new book seeks to rectify misrepresentations of Popperian thought with a historical approach to his philosophy. This approach is one which applies his own mature view - that we gain knowledge through conjectures and refutations - to his own development, by portraying him in his intellectual growth as just such a series. Stefano Gattei reconstructs the logic of Popper's development to highlight how one problem and its tentative solution led to a new problem. Lucidly written by a widely-respected author, this book is an invaluable resource for philosophers of science, historians of philosophy and those interested in science criticism and the growth of knowledge.Gattei, Stefano is the author of 'Karl Popper's Philosophy Of Science ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415378314 and ISBN 0415378311.
