The Logic of Scientific Discovery

by Karl Popper Narrated by David Pickering

Overview

Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the “demarcation problem,” or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability - that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation - against the prevailing views of his day. Now widely considered among the most important books in the history of philosophy of science, The Logic of Scientific Discovery remains essential reading for scholars, scientists, and anyone interested in what makes science, science.

This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

From the Publisher

‘One of the most important documents of the twentieth century.' - Sir Peter Medawar, New Scientist

‘One cannot help feeling that, if it had been translated as soon as it had been originally published, philosophy in this country might have been saved some detours. Professor Popper's thesis has that quality of greatness that, once seen, it appears simple and almost obvious' - Times Literary Supplement

'One of the most important documents of the twentieth century.' – Peter Medawar, New Scientist
