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.

En Intellektuell Självbiografi
Poppers personliga skildring av sin filosofiska och vetenskapliga utveckling. Vi får följa hans liv från Wienkretsen till professuren vid London School of Economics. Biografin publicerades första gången i serien Library of Living Philosophers. I denna serie har 1900-talets mest kända filosofer blivit ingående analyserade och diskuterade. Volymerna inleds alltid med filosofens egen beskrivning av sin intellektuella utveckling. I volymen skriver Imre Lakatos: Poppers idéer står för den viktigaste utvecklingen i filosofin under det tjugonde århundradet; de ansluter till traditionen efter Hume, Kant eller Whewell och ligger på samma nivå som deras prestationer.

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.
