The Popperian Podcast #4 – Robin Attfield – ‘Pre-echoes of Popper - Xenophanes and Parmenides’
Philosopher Robin Attfield discusses the misrepresented Xenophanes and Parmenides, their influence on Karl Popper's critical rationalism, Popper's method of interpreting Herodotus, and the debate on whether Xenophanes and Parmenides can be considered 'Popperian'. Attfield sheds light on the historical connection between ancient philosophy and modern scientific inquiry.
