Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography by Karl Popper (PDF)

Description

Although most of us know the date and place of our birth…few know when and how their intellectual life began. .. Here one of the greatest thinkers of our age recalls the landmarks of his development. Apprenticed to a cabinet maker, Popper found that philosophical daydreams interfered with the quality of his French polish, making him realize that he was too ‘ignorant and fallible’ for manual work. Popper’s memories of the first world war, love affair with Marxism and the working class, involvement in music, and reactions to antisemitism are as vital to this story as his encounters with Einstein, Russell, carnap, and Wittgenstein.”

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Karl Popper, one of the great 20th century philosophers, walks us through his intellectual life – and that is really what I want to read about. Many of his ideas are developed in front of our eyes. Perhaps he is a little less than humble when talking about who killed off positivism (it is reasonable to suggest he at least was a strong factor) and has false memories about the Wittgenstein affair, as the authors of Wittgenstein’s Poker claim, but, if so, they are minor issues and people must be allowed their faults and conceits. Then again, maybe he has it right.In any event, an undersung great man explains himself. Very few philosophers make as much sense or explain their thinking in as facile a way.
