Watch as we uncover the story of a man who believed in questioning everything to find the truth. Biography of Karl Popper Born in Vienna on July 28, 1902, Karl Raimund Popper was one of the twentieth century's great philosophers—and among the most important philosophers of science. He was also a philosophical champion of liberalism and a proponent of an “open society.” He called himself a critical rationalist and opposed skepticism, conventionalism, and relativism in science. Born into a Jewish family, he did not follow his father into the law, but both parents instilled in him an interest in the classics, philosophy, and music. In graduate school, Popper chose the history of music as a second subject for his Ph.D. examination. Popper was educated at the Realgymnasium, which he left to attend the University of Vienna in 1918, although he formally enrolled four years later. In his young manhood, he was a Socialist and, for a time, a Marxist. Popper did not leap into an academic career but trained as a cabinetmaker, earned a primary school teaching diploma (1925), and a secondary school qualification to teach mathematics and physics (1929). In 1937, Popper accepted a position teaching philosophy at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, which would become his sanctuary through World War II. In 1938, the annexation of Austria (Anschluss) prompted Popper to address problems in social and political philosophy, which resulted in the 1945 publication of The Open Society and Its Enemies, a critical condemnation of totalitarianism. In 1946, Popper moved to London to teach at the London School of Economics and three years later, he was appointed professor of logic and scientific method at the University of London. Popper viewed science—and epistemology—from what he called the perspective of “critical rationalism,” thereby rejecting the empiricism of the Kantian tradition, which assumed that basic statements are infallible. Popper posited falsifiability as the criterion of “demarcation” between a genuine and a non-genuine scientific theory. A theory is scientific only if it is falsifiable. Thus, psychoanalysis and other putative sciences did not merit a claim to being deemed scientific. Their theories are not falsifiable. Popper recognized a kinship between his standard of falsification and Charles Peirce’s nineteenth-century doctrine of fallibilism. Induction cannot be logically justified. In this, Popper agreed with David Hume. But that is no reason to disregard induction, which is invaluable. Popper applied falsification to The Open Society and Its Enemies and The Poverty of Historicism (1957) to critique historicism as a theory that history necessarily develops according to knowable general laws toward a determinate end. Not only is this invalid, he argued, but it is morally corrupt in that it justifies authoritarianism and totalitarianism. This video is about Karl Popper: The Philosopher Who Challenged Science.
