The Myth of the Framework

In this book, Karl Popper discusses key issues such as the aims of science, the role of science in civilization, the moral responsibility of scientists, the structure of history, and the choice between reason and revolution.

Popper argues against intellectual fashions like positivism and relativism, advocating for his own critical rationalism as a theory of knowledge and an attitude towards human life, morals, and democracy.

The book is a compilation of some of Popper's most important work on these subjects, published in cooperation with the Central European University.
