Karl Popper's Science and Philosophy
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-67038-2 (ISBN)
Of all philosophers of the 20th century, few built more bridges between academic disciplines than Karl Popper. He contributed to a wide variety of fields in addition to the epistemology and the theory of scientific method for which he is best known. This book illustrates and evaluates the impact, both substantive and methodological, that Popper has had in the natural and mathematical sciences. The topics selected include quantum mechanics, evolutionary biology, cosmology, mathematical logic, statistics, and cognitive science. The approach is multidisciplinary, opening a dialogue across scientific disciplines and between scientists and philosophers.
Zuzana Parusnikova, Research Professor at the Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences. Her research focuses on the philosophy of science, most importantly on critical rationalism, and on the early modern philosophy, especially David Hume. David Merritt, Professor Emeritus, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York; author or co-author of more than 400 articles and two books on astrophysics and philosophy of science.
