Widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the twentieth century, he was also a highly influential social and political philosopher, a proponent and defender of the \"open society.\" \u003ci\u003ePopper's Legacy \u003c\/i\u003eexamines all aspects of his work, in particular his moral and psychological insights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnce Popper's scientific legacy is couched in political and moral terms, it becomes apparent that his concern for individual autonomy does not come at the expense of institutional guidelines and social conventions. Instead, these guidelines turn out to be essential sanctions for individual freedom. Popper envisions the conduct of the scientific community as paralleling the conduct of any democratically established community, where critical rationality guides the words and actions of all participants and leadership can be changed without violence. Raphael Sassower reveals the debt many intellectual movements - such as feminism, and postmodernism - owe to Popper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raphael Sassower\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 6.24w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773531765","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46814588698761,"sku":"9780773531765","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_242eda37-e6a6-47af-bb03-1b6488fc66a2.jpg?v=1779827019","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/poppers-legacy-rethinking-politics-economics-and-science-9780773531765","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
