last substantive content change APR 12 2005 Karl Popper Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century
One of the many remarkable features of Popper's thought is the scope of his intellectual influence
In the modern technological and highly-specialised world scientists are rarely aware of the work of philosophers; it is virtually unprecedented to find them queuing up, as they have done in Popper's case, to testify to the enormously practical beneficial impact which that philosophical work has had upon their own
But notwithstanding the fact that he wrote on even the most technical matters with consummate clarity, the scope of Popper's work is such that it is commonplace by now to find that commentators tend to deal with the epistemological, scientific and social elements of his thought as if they were quite disparate and unconnected, and thus the fundamental unity of his philosophical vision and method has to a large degree been dissipated
Karl Raimund Popper was born on 28 July 1902 in Vienna, which at that time could make some claim to be the cultural epicentre of the western world

Sir Karl Popper
A brief article on this thinker, discussing the relation of Popper to the Friesian
school of Kantian philosophy.
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, by Martin J
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, 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
The most important question about Popper for is why he says that, rather than a Positivist, he is more a Kantian in the Friesian tradition: It seems to me that the view here upheld is closer to that of the 'critical' (Kantian) school of philosophy (perhaps in the form represented by Fries) than to positivism
Since Popper thought that justification works through falsification , and never through verification, he obviously agreed that such propositions do not need to be proven in the sense of logical derivation

His (Popper's) attack on Plato, while unorthodox, is in my opinion thoroughly justified
The book is a vigorous and profound defence of democracy, timely, very interesting, and very well written.' For a concise background summary of 'The Open Society and Its Enemies Volume' by Karl Popper refer to: 'The general guiding principle for public policy put forward in The Open Society is: 'Minimize avoidable suffering'.'

Their father, Dr Simon Popper, had come to Vienna from Bohemia
When Simon Popper took over as senior partner in 1896, a large adjoining apartment became the family residence
The Popper children were born into a cultured and wealthy home, and the family was well-connected
Precisely on Poppers twelfth birthday Austria declared war on Serbia
Rosa Graf, a sister of Freuds, was a friend of the Popper family, and in the summer of 1916 she joined them in their mountain retreat
Soon afterwards news came that he had been killed, and the grief this caused deeply impressed Popper
Another family experience which he reported long afterwards concerned another family friend, Dr Karl Schmidt, a lawyer and now an Army officer, who was a regular visitor at the Poppers home
The secure, comfortable world in which Popper had grown up was gone
Gomperz introduced him to Victor Kraft, who was the first member of the Circle whom Popper had met and the author of a book on scientific method which he found valuable

Karl Popper et la connaissance objective
Article de Denis Collin sur l'épistémologie popperienne.
Karl Popper et la connaissance objective
Jacques Bouveresse s'interrogeant sur l'engouement suspect des intellectuels français pour Karl Popper écrivait ceci : Si l'on se demande pourquoi Popper , après avoir été si longtemps et aussi systématiquement ignoré par la philosophie et l'épistémologie françaises contemporaines, bénéficie depuis quelques années d'un véritable succès de mode, il est à craindre que la réponse doive être cherchée non pas dans une conversion soudaine et inespérée à ce qu'il appelle le " réalisme critique ", mais plutôt par le fait que, après plusieurs décennies de dogmatisme philosophique et politique effréné, il donne aux milieux intellectuels français l'occasion de s'offrir à bon compte une cure de scepticisme indifférencié et radical, qui ne risque pas de mettre en danger les convictions foncièrement irrationalistes qui continuent à y régner
Ajoutons que des raisons proprement politiques, liées à la conjoncture, entraient et entrent toujours dans cette apologie du " popperisme " que nous proposent quelques philosophes et autres " intellectuels " de haut vol qui ignorent tout des questions fondamentales de l'épistémologie
