Summary
In this work, Karl Popper mainly deals with and criticizes the anti-naturalistic and pro-naturalistic ideas expressed in historicism. However the book is not restricted to this criticism alone. It is the application of Karl Popper's theory of science to politics, sociology and history and the presentation of new, surprising solutions for problems in these areas. It is a standard work for the application of scientific theories to concrete practice.
