Popper, Karl Raimund (1902–94) Fully updated and revised August 23, 2002 1 Life and works 2 Theory of science 3 Later ideas 4 Democracy, society and individualism IAN C. JARVIE Popper, Karl Raimund (1902–94) Popper belongs to a generation of Central European émigré scholars that profoundly influenced thought in the English-speaking countries in this century. His greatest contributions are in philosophy of science and in political and social philosophy. Popper’s ‘falsificationism’ reverses the usual view that accumulated experience leads to scientific hypotheses; rather, freely conjectured hypotheses precede, and are tested against, experience. The hypotheses that survive the testing process constitute current scientific knowledge. His general epistemology, ‘critical rationalism’, commends the Socratic method of posing questions and critically discussing the answers offered to them. He considers knowledge in the traditional sense of certainty, or in the modern 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

Branch of Science Philosophers Nationality Austrian Popper, Karl (1902-1994) Austrian-born philosopher of science who defines science as a discipline founded on the creation of hypotheses that predict phenomena, preferably new ones, that can be tested. Popper's Principle holds that testability rather than truth should be the criterion for judging scientific truths. This principle views scientific progress in a different light than does Planck's Principle.

24. Sir Karl Popper A brief article on this thinker, discussing the relation of Popper to the Friesian school of Kantian philosophy. http://www.friesian.com/popper.htm

Sir Karl Popper (1902-1994) The most important philosopher of science since Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Sir Karl Popper finally solved the puzzle of scientific method, which in practice had never seemed to conform to the principles or logic described by Bacon see The Great Devonian Controversy , by Martin J. S. Rudwick, for a case study of Baconian rhetoric and expectations being contradicted by actual practice and results. Instead of scientific knowledge being discovered and verified by way of inductive generalizations, leaping from perceptual data into blank minds, in terms that go back to Aristotle , Popper realized that science advances instead by deductive falsification through a process of "conjectures and refutations." It is imagination and creativity , not induction, that generates real scientific theories, which is how Einstein could study the universe with no more than a piece of chalk. Experiment and observation test theories, not produce them. This was not, in retrospect, so hard to understand; and some philosophers, like Kant , had come close to recognizing it. It is still subject to some dispute, though mainly from those who misunderstand

31. The Problem Of Induction, By Sir Karl Popper Text of this key 1953 paper, in which Popper presents the view of the scientific method as a critical, rather than inductive process. http://dieoff.org/page126.htm

Home Popper has argued (I think successfully) that a scientific idea can never be proven true, because because no matter how many observations seem to agree with it, it may still be wrong. On the other hand, a single contrary experiment can prove a theory forever false. The Problem of Induction (1953, 1974) For a brief formulation of the problem of induction we can turn to Born, who writes: '. . . no observation or experiment, however extended, can give more than a finite number of repetitions'; therefore, 'the statement of a law - B depends on A - always transcends experience. Yet this kind of statement is made everywhere and all the time, and sometimes from scanty material. ' 1 In other words, the logical problem of induction arises from (1) Hume's discovery (so well expressed by Born) that it is impossible to justify a law by observation or experiment, since it 'transcends experience'; (2) the fact that science proposes and uses laws 'everywhere and all the time'. (Like Hume, Born is struck by the 'scanty material', i.e. the few observed instances upon which the law may be based.) To this we have to add (3) the principle of empiricism which asserts that in science only observation and experiment may decide upon the acceptance or rejection of scientific statements, including laws and theories. These three principles, (1), (2), and (3), appear at first sight to clash; and this apparent clash constitutes the logical problem of induction.

32. Popper On Kantian Concept Of War On War Text of a 1993 interview giving Popper s take on the contemporary world situation. http://ghandchi.com/iranscope/Anthology/Popper.htm

[Popper on Kantian Concept of War on War] Karl Popper: Interview 1993 'WE ARE IN DANGER OF A THIRD WORLD WAR' In April we published your text arguing for intervention in Bosnia. Have you not changed your mind since then? It was certainly no accident that I called then for intervention. And the problem is still the same: we must fight against war. The essence of the idea of 'war on war' can already be found in Kant, in his 'Perpetual Peace' essay. Perhaps we have forgotten the general feel­ing after the First World War that things should never again come to war, that the recent conflict had been a senseless sacrifice of human lives, a huge effort with results seemingly close to zero. Yet even during the years of fighting, the idea of a war fought against war had made its appearance. Of course, it lends itself to many paradoxes and is often used in questionable ways, but it is essentially a very serious idea. How is the 'war on war' principle to be applied? The Second World War was from the beginning conceived as precisely that: a war on war. The period stretching from the First to the Second World War showed the extent to which peace had actually depended on the responsibilities of governments. Neville Chamberlain clearly assumed the task of appeasing Nazi Germany, and saw it as his main responsibility to make concessions in the name of peace. That is exactly how he saw his task. And so he helped Hitler for a long time, when he was already far advanced in strengthening Nazi rule. Do you mean it can be dangerous completely to reject war?

He is counted among the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, and he also wrote extensively on social and political philosophy. Popper is perhaps best known for repudiating the classical observationalist-inductivist account of scientific method by advancing empirical falsifiability as the criterion for distinguishing scientific theory from non-science; and for his vigorous defense of liberal democracy and the principles of social criticism which he took to make the flourishing of the "open society" possible.

34. From Sir Karl Popper: Selected correspondence between Thomas Szasz and Popper, between 1961 and 1984. http://www.szasz.com/popper.html

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

40. LANGUAGE AND THE BODY-MIND PROBLEM Text of this 1953 paper by Popper, with hyperlinked footnotes and a later note by the author. http://www.ditext.com/popper/lbp.html

LANGUAGE AND THE BODY-MIND PROBLEM A RESTATEMENT OF INTERACTIONISM Karl R. Popper First published in the Proceedings of the 11th International Congress of Philosophy , Vol. VII (1953): 101-107. Reprinted in Karl R. Popper, Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge (New York: Basic Books, 1962). Transcribed into hypertext by Andrew Chrucky, Sept. 12, 1997. 1. INTRODUCTION This is a paper on the impossibility of a physicalistic causal theory of the human language. 1.1 It is not a paper on linguistic analysis (the analysis of word-usages). For I completely reject the claim of certain language analysts that the source of philosophical difficulties is to be found in the misuse of language. No doubt some people talk nonsense, but I claim ( a ) that there does not exist a logical or language-analytical method of detecting philosophical nonsense (which, by the way, does not stop short of the ranks of logicians, language analysts and semanticists); ( b ) that the belief that such a method exists the belief more especially that philosophical nonsense can be unmasked as due to what Russell might have called 'type-mistakes' and what nowadays are sometimes called 'category-mistakes' is the aftermath of a philosophy of language which has since turned out to be baseless. 1.2 It is the result of Russell's early belief that a formula like '
