The \u003cem\u003ePostscript\u003c\/em\u003e is the culmination of Popper's work in the philosophy of physics and a new famous attack on subjectivist approaches to philosophy of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRealism and the Aim of Science\u003c\/em\u003e is the first volume of the \u003cem\u003ePostcript\u003c\/em\u003e. Popper here formulates and explains his non-justificationist theory of knowledge: science aims at true explanatory theories, yet it can never prove, or justify, any theory to be true, not even if is a true theory. Science must continue to question and criticise all its theories, even those that happen to be true. \u003cem\u003eRealism and the Aim of Science\u003c\/em\u003e presents Popper's mature statement on scientific knowledge and offers important insights into his thinking on problems of method within science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Popper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138168947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138168947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Karl Popper","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896545435903,"sku":"9781138168947","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f26ad0a3-9b13-4cdf-afa2-11d7146295b8.jpg?v=1721371691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/realism-and-the-aim-of-karl-popper-9781138168947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
