This is a comprehensive introduction to the philosophical and political thought of Karl Popper, now available in English. It is divided into three parts; the first part provides a biography of Popper; the second part looks at his works and recurrent themes, and the third part assesses his critics. It was approved of by Popper himself as a sympathetic and comprehensive study, and will be ideal to meet the increasing demand for a summary introduction to his work.

Popper, Condensed and Referenced,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to the Thought of Karl Popper (Paperback)
This is a fine book which details Popper's final thoughts on all of his theories, and the long road that led him there. Everything is well coordinated with cross-referenced citations for all of his major works and trends.I would give it 5 stars, but as Popper would be the first to acknowledge, there is always room for improvement!

Karl Popper's books are better than this introduction,

This review is from: An Introduction to the Thought of Karl Popper (Hardcover)
I've always found Karl Popper's writing clear and understandable. This 'introduction', though apparently written in english, is neither.
