Dictionary of Literary Biography on Karl R(aimund) Popper

Karl Popper is regarded by many commentators as the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century. His most significant work is found in his first four published books--Logik der Forschung: Zur Erkenntnistheorie der modernen Naturwissenschaft (Logic of Discovery: Toward an Epistemology of Modern Natural Science, 1935; translated as The Logic of Scientific Discovery, 1959), The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945), The Poverty of Historicism (1957), and Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge (1962)--which attack fundamental problems with ferocious integrity, clarity, simplicity, and originality. They have wide and fruitful implications for science, philosophy, the social sciences, education, art, political philosophy, and practical politics. A volume of The Library of Living Philosophers series (1974) is devoted to Popper's work; like all volumes in the series, it includes the subject's intellectual autobiography. Popper's was published separately, with revisions, as Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography (1976).

Karl Raimund Popper was born in Vienna on 28 July 1902.
