Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El universo abierto, uno de los tres volúmenes que integran el tan esperado Post Scriptum que Sir Kart Popper escribió en plena madurez intelectual, contiene en núcleo del argumento de esta obra. En el presente tomo, el autor defiende, en un lenguaje sencillo, la libertad, la creatividad y la racionalidad de género humano. El propio Popper describe este libro como . Además de proyectar una nueva perspectiva cosmológica y física, la obra de Popper exige una nueva comprensión de la historia de la física durante los últimos tiempos y de su relación con la física clásica. Después de investigar, y de rechazar, tanto el determinismo como el metafísico, Popper sostiene que la física clásica, contrariamente a la opinión más común, no presupone determinismo de la misma manera que no lo presupone la física cuántica, ni tampoco lo implica. No obstante , Popper considera que el determinismo metafísico continua subyacente en el pensamientos de muchos teóricos cuánticos contemporáneos, incluido los adversarios del determinismo. Sir Kart Popper fue doctor honoris causa por catorce universidades estadounidenses, británicas, alemanas, austríacas, neozelandesas y canadienses, es miembro de número u honorario de doce academias.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En este primer volumen del Post Scriptum, obra publicada tras más de veinticinco años de haber sido escrita, Popper formula y explica su teoría no justificacionista del conocimiento. La ciencia ciencia empírica busca teorías explicativas verdaderas; pero nunca puede demostrar o establecer definitivamente o justificar sus teorías verdaderas, ni siquiera si son, en efecto, verdaderas. Así pues, la ciencia tiene que continuar cuestionando y criticando todas sus teorías, incluso las que son verdaderas. Sin embargo, puede dar razones para preferir unas teorías a otras; algunas están, mejor contrastadas (corroboradas), pueden plantear o resolver más problemas, tener mayor poder explicativo e incluso ser capaces de corregir aquellos hechos (aparentes) que debían explicar. De este modo, aunque no un criterio para conocer la verdad, sí poseemos algo parecido a un criterio sobre el progreso de nuestras teorías; del progreso hacia la verdad y hacia explicaciones teóricas más profundas y eficaces. Popper sustituye el objetivo realista de someterlas a la crítica empírica más severa que nuestro ingenio pueda idear. Contrastar una teoría no consiste sólo en observar, sino en realizar intentos ingeniosos de encontrar sus puntos débiles, los puntos en los que la teoría puede ser deficiente, los problemas que puede ser incapaz de resolver. La presente edición está preparada por William Warren Bartley III, graduado por Harvard y por la Universidad de Londres.
