Unended Quest by Karl Popper
An Intellectual Autobiography
A reflective intellectual autobiography tracing a philosopher’s path from early life in Vienna through exile and later academic work, showing how engagement with the Vienna Circle, the influence of Einstein, and the turmoil of the 20th century shaped a commitment to critical rationalism. It recounts the rejection of Marxism and psychoanalysis, the proposal of falsifiability as a demarcation between science and pseudoscience, the method of conjectures and refutations, and views on quantum theory and evolution, presenting knowledge as a fallible, open-ended pursuit driven by bold ideas and stringent criticism.
