Karl Popper: A Life Dedicated to the Pursuit of Truth
Share on:

Karl Popper, one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, was born in Vienna on July 28, 1902. Of Jewish descent, Popper passed away in London on September 17, 1994.

Ersi Sotiropoulou, in an article in "Nea" in 2004, referred to Popper's legacy, emphasizing that few personalities renewed modern thought as much as he did. He was involved in philosophy, psychoanalysis, music, physics, mathematics, and worked as a carpenter and educator.

Popper changed the way we understand truth, connecting it with the process of living learning and self-awareness. According to Popper, a scientific theory is reliable only if it can be falsified. Learning is risk, living research, trial and error.

In his book "All People Are Philosophers", Popper argued that all people think about the fundamental issues of life. Life is an adventure, and everyone can play a role in it.
