Karl Popper - The Formative Years, 1902–1945 - Politics and Philosophy in Interwar Vienna

This intellectual 2001 biography recovers the legacy of Karl Popper (1902–1945); the progressive, cosmopolitan, Viennese socialist who combated fascism, revolutionized the philosophy of science, and envisioned the Open Society. Hacohen restores Popper's works to their original Central European contexts, and reveals their relevance for contemporary politics and philosophy.
