本书为英语原版，精装本，原定价160.00美元，净重1010克，馆藏。【图书分类：哲学、宗教 > 欧洲哲学 > 欧洲各国哲学 > 英国哲学 > 二十世纪哲学 > 其他】Karl Popper (1902–1994) is one of this century's most influential philosophers, but his life in fin-de siècle and interwar Vienna, and his exile in New Zealand during World War II, have so far remained shrouded in mystery. This intellectual 2001 biography recovers the legacy of the young Popper; the progressive, cosmopolitan, Viennese socialist who combated fascism, revolutionized the philosophy of science, and envisioned the Open Society. Malachi Hacohen delves into his archives (as well as the archives of his colleagues) and draws a compelling portrait of the philosopher, the assimilated Jewish intelligentsia, and the vanished culture of Red Vienna, which was decimated by Nazism. Hacohen's adventurous biography restores Popper's works to their original Central European contexts and, at the same time, shows that they have urgent messages for contemporary politics and philosophy.
This intellectual biography recovers the legacy of Karl Popper (1902-1994), the progressive, cosmopolitan, Viennese socialist who combated fascism, revolutionized the philosophy of science, and envisioned the Open Society. Malachi Hacohen draws a compelling portrait of the philosopher, the assimilated Jewish intelligentsia, and the vanished culture of Red Vienna, which was decimated by Nazism. Seeking to rescue Popper from his postwar conservative and anticommunist reputation, Hacohen restores his works to their original Central European contexts and, at the same time, shows that they have urgent messages for contemporary politics and philosophy.
From Publishers Weekly：
This intellectual biography examines the early life of one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers. Born in Vienna, Popper (1902-1994) grew up among educated, middle-class Jews who, despite their efforts at assimilation (Popper's father was Lutheran by conversion), still suffered prejudice. Though Nazism would eventually force him out of Europe, Popper spent the interwar years in Austria, developing the foundations of both his character and his soon-to-be-influential ideas. Like most of his countrymen, he believed that Jews' high public profile in the arts, sciences and professions contributed to anti-Semitism; he eschewed all religious practice, condemned Zionism and established a "life-long pattern" as "eternal dissenter and intellectual loner." In the mid-1930s he fled to a university in New Zealand; later, he secured a prestigious post at the London School of Economics. But Hacohen, an Israeli-born historian (Duke University), doesn't just map out the biographical details of Popper's early life. He combines them with critical readings of the philosopher's most important writings from these yearsAThe Open Society and Its Enemies, The Logic of Scientific DiscoveryAto argue against a contemporary academic trend. "Popper," Hacohen asserts, struggled with " 'poststructuralist' dilemmas" (like the notion that language both describes and invents the world) but crafted different solutions to these questions than today's scholars do. And Popper's contributions along these lines have been forgotten, in part, Hacohen suggests, because scholars have ignored the first half of his career. By remedying this oversight, Hacohen also "recommend[s Popper's] solutions as against poststructuralist ones." While much of Hacohen's book is accessible to analysts of language and philosophers of science, its rich evocation of the turbulent yet vital interwar Vienna should win this formidable book a wider readership. (Sept.)
From Library Journal：
Karl Popper is famous for his thesis that scientific theories are never confirmed yet can always be falsified and for his blistering attacks on ideologies that lead to tyranny. The two positions form a passionate defense of the individual against bureaucracy. The lone individual, Popper argued, can overturn a powerful scientific theory with a single nega-tive example, while most political ideologies, including those of Marx and Hegel, are empty and incapable of confirmation or falsification. Without such theories, people must come together to make their own futures. Cold warriors welcomed Popper, though he never intended to justify egocentric individualism. This book explores his youthful Viennese socialism and his disillusionment with those who passively fell victim to Nazism because they assumed history would work in their favor. A Jew who battled against Israeli "tribal nationalism" and a conscientious thinker sometimes exploited by an unscrupulous Far Right, Popper, who settled in England, was always an odd man out. Hacohen (intellectual history, Duke Univ.) here draws on previously unexplored archives. His story is exciting and his scholarship meticulous, but ponderous prose will confine his book to academic libraries.DLeslie Armour, Univ. of Ottawa, Ont.
Review：
"Popper's early years are comprehensively covered in Malachi Haim Hacohen's The Formative Years...attest[s] to the vitality of the ideas [Popper] introduced." New York Review of Books
"While much of Hacohen's book is accessible to analysts of language and philosophers of science, its rich evocation of the turbulent yet vital interwar Vienna should win this formidable book a wider readership" Publishers Weekly
"Hacohen convincingly argues that Popper imposed the telos of his mature philosophy on his intellectual development...this fine biography adds enormously to the understanding of an influential thinker." Choice
"...he [Hacohen] presents intellectual history at the highest level by coordinating internal (theoretical) and external (contextual) explanations, and provides us with new findings on a highly original thinker and an expressive characterization of the cultural and political climate in interwar Austria." Austrian History Yearbook
"His story is exciting and his scholarship meticulous... ." Library Journal
"Hacohen (history, Duke Univ.) convincingly argues that Popper imposed the telos of his mature philosophy on his intellectual development...this fine biography adds enormously to the understanding of an influential thinker." Choice
"...admirably written and informative..." German Studies Review
'Karl Popper was not always forthcoming about his early life and his early intellectual trajectory may surprise some of his admirers. But the real hero of this book is the long-lost intellectual milieu of Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s that did so much to shape him.' The Economist, from Books of the Year 2000
'Malachi Hacohen has written an exciting book, which will be the starting-point for any future work on the development of Karl Popper's ideas. For those with an interest in Popper, the book is a must. It should also be of immense interest to all those concerned with the history of philosophy and, more generally, of ideas in the twentieth century. Hacohen's work combines detailed archival research with engagement of Popper's politics and philosophy and an ability to write in an interesting and provocative manner. An essential purchase.' Jeremy Shearmur, Australian National University
'Hacohen has labored long and hard in the archives, and the result is a magnificent work of scholarship.' New York Times Book Review
'… its rich evocation of the turbulent yet vital interwar Vienna should win this formidable book a wider readership.' Publishers Weekly
' … this is likely to be the standard reference for some time … It is a work of quite remarkable scholarship, well organised, clearly and vigorously written. It stands as a monument to Popper's indomitable spirit and to the support of many people.' Quadrant
'Malachi Hacohen's biography of Karl Popper is in many ways an extraordinary book … Hacohen's book is not only unique, its extremely careful, quite detailed, and very well-written. It is clearly … a truly great biography.' Review of Social Economy
