Popper is widely regarded as one of the most influential 20th century philosophers. In this new biography, Weinert provides a comprehensive and accessible account of his life and work, also addressing Poppers role as a public intellectual. Drawing on a wide range of sources and interviews with former colleagues and collaborators, he recounts not only the wide interest from the scientific community, but also the inspiration that politicians took from Poppers work. The book surveys the vast and varied intellectual landscape of Popper's philosophical journey during his long career: from the natural and social sciences (physics, evolution, sociology to political philosophy and the philosophy of mind. It pays significant attention to Poppers critical method - i.e., the notion that ideas and institutions should be exposed to rigorous tests the approach that led him to a fervent defence of objectivity, rationality and realism, against all forms of irrationalism, as well as a passionate advocacy of freedom, social justice and liberal democracy, against all forms of authoritarianism. The book brings Popper into focus as a modern Enlightenment philosopher. 001452227 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001452227 60010 $$aPopper, Karl R.$$q(Karl Raimund),$$d1902-1994$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000121428792 001452227 650_0 $$aScience$$xPhilosophy. 001452227 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 001452227 650_0 $$aSociology$$xMethodology. 001452227 650_0 $$aPhysics$$xPhilosophy. 001452227 650_0 $$aPolitical science$$xPhilosophy. 001452227 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001452227 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWeinert, Friedel, 1950-$$tKarl Popper.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783031154232$$w(OCoLC)1346945168 001452227 830_0 $$aSpringer biographies. 001452227 852__ $$bebk 001452227 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-15424-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001452227 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1452227$$pGLOBAL_SET 001452227 980__ $$aBIB 001452227 980__ $$aEBOOK 001452227 982__ $$aEbook 001452227 983__ $$aOnline 001452227 994__ $$a92$$bISE
