The BBC on Karl Popper

Category: art, food, music, citylife and other mental stimuli
Posted on: March 25, 2007 5:59 PM, by Alex Palazzo

No video, just 44min of audio on Popper, one of the great philosophers of Science. (No I don't stricktly hold his views, but his ideas are very insightful.)

It's interesting how Popper's ideas were shaped by the progression of physics from Newtonian physics to Einstein's relativity in contrast to the inflexible theories proposed by the Marxists and Psychoanalysts.

As for the second part, on Popper's Open Society, American conservatives should listen very carefully.
