From the “jacket”.
On the topic of jackets, don’t you love the covers which have been produced by Barnes, Catmur and Friends? What a shame that they will never be seen on real books on shelves in the bookshops of the world.
Daniel Barnes, like others including Matt Dioguardi, has been a long-serving and valued colleague in Popper studies. Thanks!
This guide, the first in the Popular Popper series, provides an introduction to “The Logic of Scientific Discovery”, a book which changed the direction of the philosophy of science in the 20th century. The guide proposes that Popper’s ideas are best understood as a number of “turns” which he introduced. These include the “hermeneutic” or “conjectural” turn, to acknowledge that even our best scientific theories may be false, and the “conventional” or “rules of the game” turn, to account for the social nature of science and allow for the revival of metaphysics within any scientific research program. It also lists the most common misunderstandings of Popper which have confused students of philosophy and diminished his standing in academic circles.
