Karl Popper (1902-1994) is regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century. He famously proposed that falsifiability is the genuine virtue of science and the criterion of the scientific status of a theory. Based on this, he developed a systematic account of scientific method and scientific development, namely, falsificationism. Moreover, Popper wrote on a variety of topics, including evolutionary biology, methodological individualism, and probability. However, Popper’s legacy on contemporary philosophy of science is surprisingly thin. This volume develops a Popperian philosophy of science for the 21st century. The chapters examine the problem of induction, the demarcation problem, the notion of verisimilitude, critical rationalism, methodological individualism, as well as the relevance and implications of Popper's ideas for the philosophy of the natural and social sciences from new perspectives.
Karl Popper and the Open Future of the Philosophy of Science will appeal to scholars and graduate students interested in the history and philosophy of science, philosophy of social science, and 20th-century philosophy.
