Sir Karl Popper, considered by many to be the greatest philosopher of science that has ever been, is the author of a number of seminal works: The Open Society and Its EnemiesThe Logic of Scientific Discovery, and The Poverty of Historicism.  The range of his intellectual influence, unapproached by that of any English-speaking philosopher now living, extends from members of government to art historians.  Yet Popper's named is not so well known as many of his critics'.  Bryan Magee, an English critic and philosopher in his own right, offers a lucid and compelling analysis of the reason for this paradox, and of the component parts of Poopper's greatness.  

Edited by Frank Kermode
