Sobre aquest llibre

This open access book is the first ever collection of Karl Popper's writings on deductive logic.
Karl R. Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His philosophy of science ("falsificationism") and his social and political philosophy ("open society") have been widely discussed way beyond academic philosophy. What is not so well known is that Popper also produced a considerable work on the foundations of deductive logic, most of it published at the end of the 1940s as articles at scattered places. This little-known work deserves to be known better, as it is highly significant for modern proof-theoretic semantics.
This collection assembles Popper's published writings on deductive logic in a single volume, together with all reviews of these papers. It also contains a large amount of unpublished material from the Popper Archives, including Popper's correspondence related to deductive logic and manuscripts that were (almost) finished, but did not reach the publication stage. All of these items are critically edited with additional comments by the editors. A general introduction puts Popper's work into the context of current discussions on the foundations of logic. This book should be of interest to logicians, philosophers, and anybody concerned with Popper's work.

Thomas Piecha is a philosopher, physicist and computer scientist. He has published on proof-theoretic and dialogical approaches in logic and currently works on proof-theoretic semantics. He has participated in the final German editions of Popper’s “Logic of Scientific Discovery” and “Conjectures and Refutations”.

Peter Schroeder-Heister is head of the Tübingen group in proof-theoretic semantics. He has worked with Thomas Piecha and David Binder on various topics in the foundations of logic. He has published basic papers on Popper’s logic and corresponded with him on these issues in the 1980s.
