The work of Karl Popper has had extraordinary influence across the
fields of scientific and social thought. Widely regarded as one of
the greatest philosophers of science of the twentieth century, he
was also a highly influential social and political philosopher, a
proponent and defender of the "open society". "Popper's Legacy"
examines Popper in the round, analysing in particular his moral and
psychological insights. Once Popper's scientific legacy is couched
in political and moral terms, it becomes apparent that his concern
for individual autonomy does not come at the expense of
institutional guidelines and social conventions. Instead, these
guidelines turn out to be essential sanctions for individual
freedom. Popper envisions the conduct of the scientific community
as paralleling the conduct of any democratically established
community. Critical rationality guides the words and actions of all
participants and leadership can be replaced without violence. In
presenting a critical overview, "Popper's Legacy" reveals the debt
many intellectual movements - such as Marxism, feminism, and
postmodernism - still owe to Popper.
