About This Item
Octavo, Publisher's cloth. First edition, first printing of one of the most significant works on the philosophy of science. The Logic of Scientific Discovery was originally published in Germany in 1934, and Popper rewrote and republished it in English in 1959, with the New York edition preceding this much rarer UK edition. A fine copy in a near-fine unclipped dustwrapper which shows some light scattered foxing on the spine and a contemporary ownership inscription on the title page. The book is mostly unopened and looks mostly unread save for the ownership signature. A nice copy.
Synopsis
Logik der Forschung is a 1934 book by Karl Popper. It was originally written in German, but reformulated in English by Popper himself some years later, to be published as The Logic of Scientific Discovery in 1959. This forms the rare case of a major work to appear in two languages, both written by the author instead of being translated. Sir Peter Medawar called it "one of the most important documents of the twentieth century.
