Karl Popper, Falsifieringens Profet
I vår tid är ambitionen att så mycket verksamhet som möjlig skall vila på vetenskaplig grund. Därmed utökas vetenskapens domäner, samtidigt som begreppet som sådant förflackas. Filosofen Karl Poppers syn på vetenskapen är mera subtil. Enligt honom kan vi ingenting veta med säkerhet, ingenting bevisa, endast falsifiera, det vill säga visa att något är oförenligt med faktiska förhållanden. Det som undandrar sig falsifieringen kan vi acceptera tillsvidare. Ulf Persson prövar i denna bok Poppers teori på ett antal vetenskapsområden, däribland ekonomi, pedagogik och evolutionsbiologi.Ulf Persson född 1950, studerade och undervisade i USA 1971-79, Ph.D. Harvard University 1975, professor i matematik vid Chalmers sedan 1989.

Karl, Ljudbok
Kort därpå hör jag hur lägenhetsdörren går upp. En våg av tobak följer dig in i sovrummet. Du lägger dig i sängen. Din kropp väger tungt av allt obearbetat du bär på. Jag hör dig genom väggen, hur du vrider dig i plågor. Dina sängkläder böljar fram och tillbaka, vecklar sedan ihop sig, klistrar sig mot huden. Det här blir min första kontakt med ångesten, men det vet jag ännu inget om. Vi lever våra liv på varsin sida av väggen, men bilden vi har av varandra är ändå tydligare än någonting annat. Ett skarpt snitt, ett skridskoskär i själen. Jag läser alla dina tankar, trots att där råder diktatur. Karl lever en betydande del av sitt liv påtagligt påverkad av en pappa som valt att bryta upp från familjen. Men trots avsaknaden av kontakt är han där, Tage, i allra högsta grad närvarande, i tankarna och känslolivet och skapandet, en obönhörlig påminnelse om det biologiska släktskapet som omöjligen kan utraderas. Ett underförstått och utplånande faktum som förr eller senare måste konfronteras.

Karl Marx
This classic biography of Karl Marx, complete with Gareth Stedman Jones' poignant introduction, is unlike any other account of its subject. Focusing as much on Marx's private life as on his public persona and work, this classic biography looks in detail at his relationship with his mother and father, wife and friends, and includes generous quotations from a wide range of correspondence in addition to virtually every photograph in existence of Marx and his closest associates. Blumenberg examines Marx's early writing as a schoolboy and his romantic poetry whilst a student, as well as his exchanges with close friend and collaborator Frederick Engels. In these pages are moving accounts of the privations of Marx's poverty-stricken life in London and the tragedies which struck his family, as well as discussions of his intellectual development and political activity. Including virtually every photograph in existence of Marx and his closest associates, and focusing as much on his private life
Karl Marx
The re-publication of Karl Korsch's Karl Marx (originally published in 1938) makes available to a new generation of readers the most concise account of Karl Marx's thought by one of the major figures of 20th-century Western Marxism. It brings Marx's work to life for non-specialist readers. As Michael Buckmiller writes in his new introduction to the work, Korsch wanted his book to serve as a passport into the non-dogmatic sections of the American labour movement. The result is a bracing, concise and accessible overview of the entirety of Marx's thought, and a pungent history of Marxism.
