Discussing Popper's early philosophy of politics, science and social science, as well as his later philosophy, this title offers readers an evolutionary account of human nature and the growth of knowledge. Contrary to many earlier interpretations, it argues that we should look to Popper's political values to understand the unity of his work and the evolution of his theory of knowledge and general philosophy. The chapters in this book examine Popper's arguments, and offer critical analysis of the achievements and shortcomings of his philosophy. In particular, the work considers the problems of rationality, politics and ethics in the context of debates between the Frankfurt School of critical theory and critical rationalism.
