SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group (session 2)
DESCRIPTION:We will continue reading The Logic of Scientific Discovery by Karl Popper with chapters 3\, 4\, and 5. If you are interested in joining this discussion\, but have not read Part I (chapters 1 and 2)\, this section of Popper’s book has been condensed by Squashed Philosophers. It is not breaking the rules to read condensations. In the last notice I gave some incorrect information. All the additions that Popper added to the English version of his book were done in 1959\, so any edition of this book should contain them. I also did not want to give the wrong impression by pointing out that all meetings of the Minnesota Independent Scholars Forum (our generous sponsor) are free. People come to our meetings for other reasons than the fact that they don’t have to pay. Perhaps it’s for all the philosophical insights we dish up\, or the chance to express your own ideas\, or the criticism we offer to each other\, or the camaraderie\, or the food\, or else it’s because philosopher-types lead such boring lives that anything is better than sitting around at home.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group (session 2)
DESCRIPTION:We are turning to the topic of philosophy of science with an examination of a book considered a classic in this field: The Logic of Scientific Discovery by Karl Popper. First published in Germany in 1934\, Popper rewrote it for the English edition in 1959. He later added chapters on quantum mechanics and corroboration as well as more appendices. We will cover Part I for this meeting. The price of this book new is all over the place\, but it is generally available in paperback for around $17. As an ebook\, it is for sale in epub format on Google books for $16\, but is $26 for Kindle (or rent it for $8 for a month). It can be found for less – but not a lot – as a used book. Note\, however\, that not all editions contain the extra material. The best deal\, easily\, is on archive.org: free. Another great deal: We don’t charge anything to come to our meetings\, unless you include reading the book…which you will surely do.
