The Philosophy of Karl Popper cover

Herbert Keuth's book is a systematic exposition of Popper's philosophy.

This is a systematic exposition of Popper's philosophy covering the philosophy of science, the social philosophy, and the later metaphysics, in particular the theses to solve indeterminism/determinism and mind/body problems, and the famous idea of a third world of objective thought.Karl Popper is one of the greatest and most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Perhaps his greatest book, The Logic of Scientific Discovery, sets out his epistemology of critical rationalism, while his most famous book, The Open Society and Its Enemies, applies the principles of critical rationalism to social philosophy. Herbert Keuth's book (first published in German in 2000) is a systematic exposition of Popper's philosophy covering in part 1 the philosophy of science, in part 2 the social philosophy, and in part 3 the later metaphysics, in particular the theses to solve indeterminism/determinism and mind/body problems, and the famous idea of a third world of objective thought. This book's perspicuous structure and lucid exposition should ensure that it could be used in courses in both the philosophy of science and the philosophy of social science.

'I think it is a splendid book and one for which there definitely is a market niche.' Ian Jarvie, York University, Toronto
'This is the most comprehensive introduction to Karl Popper … This is a book that does him full justice.' Scientific and Medical Network Review
