The Nature of Philosophical Problems and their Roots in Science

This week we'll start The Nature of Philosophical Problems and their Roots in Science; an essay by Karl Popper in which he argues that philosophical problems are best understood through their roots in science and real-world inquiry, rather than as puzzles generated within philosophy itself. This week we'll be discussing sections I through III inclusive. The essay can be found in the book Conjectures and Refutations. Please read the material before attending. If this is your first time attending we meet in the cafe of the Barbican Cinema, look for people with copies of Conjectures and Refutations.
