Reflections of Popper Selections - its not about popcorn
Alternative title: Is picture of a thousand pages worth how more than a thousand words?
Along with Hume, Kant, Schopenhauer, Popper is one of the greatest philosophical minds ever. Popper's book "The Open Society and Its Enemies" completely destroys Marxism. If you are a Marxist, you might want to read this book...Popper predicted the genocides of Marxism (Stalin, Mao, etc) long before they happened. He knew Lenin personally.
Although Marxism sounds good in principle, Popper shows how incorrect assumptions lead to extremely horrific results.
Popper also had a lot to do with the decline of the logical positivists and the linguistic philosophies.....
The book Confessions of a Philosopher by Brian Magee has an excellent chapter on Popper.
Make sure your library has Popper, Hume, Kant, and Schopenhauer. (If they don't already, then you don't have a good library.) Then read them, although they will be difficult, they'll change you. Like Einstein's theories, we've all heard of them but few of know much more than E equals mc squared. It's time to change that.
