In a career spanning sixty years, Sir Karl Popper has made some of
the most important contributions to the twentieth century
discussion of science and rationality. The Myth of the Framework is
a new collection of some of Popper's most important material on
this subject. Sir Karl discusses such issues as the aims of
science, the role that it plays in our civilization, the moral
responsibility of the scientist, the structure of history, and the
perennial choice between reason and revolution. In doing so, he
attacks intellectual fashions (like positivism) that exagerrate
what science and rationality have done, as well as intellectual
fashions (like relativism) that denigrate what science and
rationality can do. Scientific knowledge, according to Popper, is
one of the most rational and creative of human achievements, but it
is also inherently fallible and subject to revision. In place of
intellectual fashions, Popper offers his own critical rationalism -
a view that he regards both as a theory of knowlege and as an
attitude towards human life, human morals and democracy. Published
in cooperation with the Central European University.
