Objective Knowledge: An Evolutionary Approach by Popper, Kar

ISBN: 0198750242

Author: Popper, Karl R.

Condition: new

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.
