Karl Popper was one of the most influential philosophers of the
twentieth century. His criticism of induction and his
falsifiability criterion of demarcation between science and
non-science were major contributions to the philosophy of science.
Popper's broader philosophy of critical rationalism comprised a
distinctive philosophy of social science and political theory. His
critique of historicism and advocacy of the open society marked him
out as a significant philosopher of freedom and reason. This book
sets out the historical and intellectual contexts in which Popper
worked, and offers an overview and diverse criticisms of his
central ideas. The volume brings together contributors with
expertise on Popper's work, including people personally associated
with Popper (such as Jarvie, Miller, Musgrave, Petersen and
Shearmur), specialists on the topics treated (Bradie, Godfrey-Smith
and Jackson), and scholars with special interests in aspects of
Popper's work (Andersson, Hacohen, Maxwell and Stokes).
This superb collection of essays represents a significant rethinking of received ideas on identity, and reveals how issues of identity lie at the heart of Australian political thought, and form the foundation of Australian society and culture. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the political discourse surrounding Australian identity through a consideration of key themes. The book rejects many assumptions underlying contemporary political debates, including the promulgation of a singular national identity in historical fact or as a political goal.
