Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography
Modern First Editions, Non-Fiction, Philosophy, Showcase, Signed First Editions
Unended Quest
By Karl Popper
First revised edition, first impression. Signed and inscribed by the author in the year of publication to the title page: 'To Ian Hunter From Karl Popper October 1976. Popper's autobiography was originally published a couple of years earlier in 1974 as part of 'The Philosophy of Karl Popper'. The present edition represents its first separate publication, containing Popper's subsequent revisions to the original text.
Sir Karl Raimund Popper (1902 - 1994) was a highly influential Austrian-British Philosopher, academic and social commentator regarded as one of the most important and impactive philosophers of science of the 20th century. He proposed and developed ideas such as 'critical rationalism' and 'empirical falsification'; the idea behind the latter being that, given the impossibility of the attainment of definitive proof of a particular scientific theory, all theories should be subjected to rigorous testing and, therefore, potentially disproved by means of decisive scientific experimentation. This idea led to the establishment of the Department of Philosophy at the London School of Economics.
A touch of rubbing to spine ends. A few soft creases to spine and corners of covers with the usual toning to edges. Otherwise a uniquely well-preserved and near fine example, not often encountered inscribed in the year of publication and in such good condition.
