This book contains around of a score of essays that examine or use
Popperis fallibilist philosophy of science from various points of
view. The opening sextet includes a new solution of the problem of
induction, the status of corroboration, and the place of
truth-values and logic(s). Then follow a trio of studies of
relationships with some other philosophies, especially Bertrand
Russellis. Next come five essays on the history and historiography
of science and mathematics, and of mathematics education. They are
followed by a quintet of speculations relating to aspects of
psychology, especially psychical research, coincidences and the
formation of languages in humans. Finally come two new items: one
on the philosophy of mathematics, the other a public
acknowledgement of the influence of Popper in August 2009 when the
International Commission on the History of Mathematics awarded
Grattan-Guinness the Kenneth O. May Medal and Prize in the History
of Mathematics. I. Grattan-Guinness is Emeritus Professor of the
History of Mathematics and Logic at Middlesex University, England,
