Our Knowledge of the Growth of Knowledge (Routledge Revivals) - Peter (Peter Munz passed away 18 years ago as advised by wife Anne sf case 01972627) Munz - Bog

Peter Munz begins his comparison of the two great twentieth-century philosophers by explaining that since the demise of positivism there have emerged, broadly speaking, two philosophical options: Wittgenstein and Popper. In Our Knowledge of the Growth of Knowledge, first published in 1985, he rejects Wittgenstein, and elaborates the potentially fruitful link between Popper¿s critical rationalism and Neo-Darwinism. Read in the light of the latter, Popper¿s philosophy leads to the transformation of Kant¿s Transcendental Idealism into `Hypothetical Realism¿.
