THE LOGICAL WRITINGS OF KARL POPPER KARTONIERT ...

This open access book is the first ever collection of Karl Popper's writings on deductive
logic. Karl R. Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th
century. His philosophy of science (falsificationism) and his social and political philosophy
(open society) have been widely discussed way beyond academic philosophy. What is not so well
known is that Popper also produced a considerable work on the foundations of deductive logic 
most of it published at the end of the 1940s as articles at scattered places. This little-known
work deserves to be known better  as it is highly significant for modern proof-theoretic
semantics. This collection assembles Popper's published writings on deductive logic in a single
volume  together with all reviews of these papers. It also contains a large amount of
unpublished material from the Popper Archives  including Popper's correspondence related to
deductive logic and manuscripts that were (almost) finished  but did not reach the publication
stage. All of these items are critically edited with additional comments by the editors. A
general introduction puts Popper's work into the context of current discussions on the
foundations of logic. This book should be of interest to logicians  philosophers  and anybody
concerned with Popper's work.
