This open access book is the first ever collection of Karl Popper's
writings on deductive logic. Karl R. Popper (1902-1994) was one of
the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His
philosophy of science ("falsificationism") and his social and
political philosophy ("open society") have been widely discussed
way beyond academic philosophy. What is not so well known is that
Popper also produced a considerable work on the foundations of
deductive logic, most of it published at the end of the 1940s as
articles at scattered places. This little-known work deserves to be
known better, as it is highly significant for modern
proof-theoretic semantics. This collection assembles Popper's
published writings on deductive logic in a single volume, together
with all reviews of these papers. It also contains a large amount
of unpublished material from the Popper Archives, including
Popper's correspondence related to deductive logic and manuscripts
that were (almost) finished, but did not reach the publication
stage. All of these items are critically edited with additional
comments by the editors. A general introduction puts Popper's work
into the context of current discussions on the foundations of
logic. This book should be of interest to logicians, philosophers,
and anybody concerned with Popper's work.
