Abstract

Karl Popper, an outstanding philosopher of the twentieth century, was a close follower of Bertrand Russell and of Albert Einstein. He did more than continue and consolidate their philosophical achievements: he set new ways of philosophizing. Many philosophers sought to find a via media between rationalism and irrationalism, between individualism and collectivism, and between radicalism and traditionalism.
