About this audiobook
In an age of dogmatic certainty and "fake news," how do we separate genuine knowledge from dangerous ideology?
One 20th-century philosopher dedicated his life to solving this puzzle. Karl Popper, a giant of intellectual thought, witnessed firsthand how seemingly scientific theories—from psychoanalysis to Marxism—could become traps for the mind, offering explanations for everything but predicting nothing. His search for a solution led to a revolutionary idea that would change our understanding of both science and society.
This guide makes Popper's powerful and essential ideas accessible to everyone. You will journey through his formative years in Vienna, explore his groundbreaking philosophy of science, and understand his passionate defense of freedom against the intellectual roots of totalitarianism.
Whether you're a student of science, a concerned citizen, or simply someone seeking clarity in a complex world, this guide provides an indispensable toolkit for critical thinking.
