The Philosophy of Karl Popper
(Volume XIV, 1974)
This volume on Karl Popper offers the most comprehensive and definitive study of his thought by thirty-five distinguished contemporary scholars of Europe and America. Popper's only philosophical Autobiography, in which he relates how and why he come to the conclusions in his thinking by which he has become known worldwide makes the volume a notable addition to this important series.
Sir Karl himself has spent years of indefatigable labors writing his Autobiography and his Replies, in which he responds in detail to the criticisms and evaluations of his philosophy made by his critics and his disciples.
