A Guide to The Logic of Scientific Discovery (The Popular Popper Book 1)

This guide, the first in the Popular Popper series, provides an introduction to "The Logic of Scientific Discovery", a book which changed the direction of the philosophy of science in the 20th century. The guide proposes that Popper's ideas are best understood as a number of "turns" which he introduced. These include the "conjectural" turn, to acknowledge that even our best scientific theories may be false, and the "conventional" or "rules of the game" turn, to account for the social nature of science and allow for the revival of metaphysics within any scientific research program. It also lists the most common misunderstandings of Popper which have confused students of philosophy and diminished his standing in academic circles.
