Investigating Karl Popper's philosophy of critical rationalism,
Critical Rationalism and the Theory of Society, Volume 1, explores
a non-justificationist conception of critical reason and its
fundamental outcomes for the theory of society. Through a set of
fundamental contributions to epistemology, the theory of
rationality and sociology, this volume (a) situates the idea of
critical rationalism in its true epistemological context, (b) uses
non-justificationist epistemology to reinvent critical rationalism
and (c) applies its revised concept of rationality to show how
people's access to critical reason enables them to agree on the
common values and social institutions necessary for a peaceful and
just social order. These contributions lead the reader to a new
epistemological understanding of the idea of critical rationalism
and recognition of how a non-justificational concept of reason
changes the content of the theory of society. The reader also
learns how thinkers, movements and masses apply their critical
reason to replace an established social order with an ideal one
through activating five types of driving forces of social change:
metaphysical, moral, legal, political and economic. Written for
philosophers and sociologists, this book will appeal to social
scientists such as moral philosophers, legal scholars, political
scientists and economists.
