Produktbeschreibung

This 2001 biography reassesses philosopher Karl Popper's life and works within the context of interwar Vienna.

---

This intellectual 2001 biography recovers the legacy of Karl Popper (1902-1945); the progressive, cosmopolitan, Viennese socialist who combated fascism, revolutionized the philosophy of science, and envisioned the Open Society. Hacohen restores Popper's works to their original Central European contexts, and reveals their relevance for contemporary politics and philosophy.
