Books by Karl R. Popper

A sampling of the philosophical writings of Karl Popper includes discussions of rationalism, knowledge, human freedom, and the scientific method.

Condemns Plato, Marx, and Hegel as "holists" and "historicists". The author tells that a holist believes that individuals are formed entirely by their social groups; historicists believe that social groups evolve according to internal principles that it is the intellectual's task to uncover.
