Perhaps Popper's most wide-ranging and popular work, gathering together his articles and lectures to chart the growth of scientific understanding, and its influence on history and thought. 'The essays and lectures of which this book composed are variations upon one very simple theme - the thesis that we can learn from our mistakes'(preface). Popper dedicated the work to Friedrich von Hayek. Originally published earlier in the same year in the UK by Routledge.
