Overview
When first published in 1959, this book revolutionized contemporary thinking about science and knowledge. It remains the one of the most widely read books about science to come out of the twentieth century.
Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of ''great originality and power'', this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now legendary doctrine of ''falsificationism'' electrified the scientific community, influencing even working scientists, as well as post-war philosophy. This astonishing work ranks alongside The Open Society and Its Enemies as one of Popper''s most enduring books and contains insights and arguments that demand to be read to this day.
