In Search of a Better World collects Karl Popper's meditations on the real improvements science has wrought in society, in politics and in the arts in the course of the twentieth century. His subjects range from the beginnings of scientific speculation in classical Greece to the destructive effects of twentieth century totalitarianism,from major figures of the Enlightenment such as Kant and Voltaire to the role of science and self-criticism in the arts. The essays offer striking new insights into the mind of one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers. 卡尔·波普尔,被称为举世无双的最伟大的科学家,一些诺贝尔奖获得者公开承认从他那里所受到的影响。神经生物学家艾克尔斯告诫道:阅读和思考波普尔关于科学哲学的著述,并把它们作为科学生活的活动基础。杰出的数学家和天文学家邦迪也赞赏说:科学中最重要的就是方法,而方法中最重要斥是波普尔的方法。罗素则把他的历史——社会学著作《开放社会》赞扬为“20世纪划进代的巨著”。不仅如此,他也影响了艺术领域,伟大的学者贡布里希就直言不讳地写道:如果在《艺术与错觉》中处处可以感觉到波普尔的影响,我将引以为荣。《通过知识获得解放》为波普尔关于科学、历史和艺术的论文选集。
