Popper guides launch: The Poverty of Historicism

Spread the love

UPDATE: The format problem in LSD is fixed although in both books the links from the table of contents are not working. OK in a preview but not in the live version.

Actually The Logic of Scientific Discovery and The Poverty of Historicism have launched as  Amazon e books but The Logic has a fault in the format and I am hoping the Amazon support people can fix it, or tell me what to do.

But The Poverty is ok in that respect.

The idea is to provide a clear summary of the main points with a little commentary to clarify some of them.

There is a set of Appendices to provide extra information.

I. The Progress of Popper, a summary of life and works.

II. The Popperian “Turns”. The six ways he changed direction, some of which isolated him  from the mainstream of the profession.

III. The reception of Popper’s ideas by the positivists and The Legend, that he was really an eccentric positivist.

IV. The Top Ten standard errors in reading Popper.

V. A case study, the philosophy and methods of economics.

VI. Carl Menger’s problem, how a theory of conjectural knowledge would have helped.

    Very cool, Rafe — your POVERTY guide now purchased and added to my Kindle (I have Popper’s POVERTY in print), THANKS! Please alert us if/when the LOGIC guide becomes available with the formatting issues sorted-out.
