quotable quote
"For myself, I am interested in science and in philosophy only because I want to learn something about the riddle of the world in which we live, and the riddle of man's knowledge of that world. And I believe that only a revival of interest in these riddles can save the sciences and philosophy from an obscurantist faith in the expert's special skill and in his personal knowledge and authority."
— Karl Popper (The Logic of Scientific Discovery)

Miguel said: I've always enjoyed reading the work of Karl Popper, and honestly I recommend any of his books to anyone willing to know the riddle of our nature and our world. On the other hand, the scientific thought of Karl Popper was the most pure and honest attack to any kind of intelectual authoritarism, and tyranny. He represents the values of a free academic conscience, and rationality.
