Beschreibung
David Miller is the foremost exponent of the purist critical rationalist doctrine and here presents his mature views, discussing the role that logic and argument play in the growth of knowledge, criticizing the common understanding of argument as an instrument of justification, persuasion or discovery and instead advocating the critical rationalist view that only criticism matters. Miller patiently and thoroughly undoes the damage done by those writers who attack critical rationalism by invoking the sterile mythology of induction and justification that it seeks to sweep away. In addition his new material on the debate on verisimilitude is essential reading for all working in this field.

Über den Autor

David Miller was an assistant to Karl Popper in the 1960s, and worked closely with him for the next thirty years. He taught at the University of Warwick, UK, and has also held appointments at universities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Thailand, and the USA. He has been Honorary Treasurer of the British Society for the Philosophy of Science, Secretary of the British Logic Colloquium, and Chair of the British National Committee for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science. His publications include Critical Rationalism: A Restatement and Defence (1994), and many papers in logic, probability, and the philosophy of science. His anthology Popper Selections (originally A Pocket Popper) has been translated into Albanian, Bengali (in part), Chinese, Georgian, German, Italian, Korean, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish.
