Karl Raimund Popper

Philosopher

A philosopher symbolizing the open spirit of the 20th century who has exerted an enormous influence on the formation of the modern intellectual climate, not only in the particular realm of philosophy, but also those of cultural and social sciences, and even that of natural science. He has continued to grasp unerringly the import of new modes of societal development and his “critical rationalism” presents the possibility of disproof as the distinguishing feature of scientific thinking.

＊This category then was Category of Creative Arts and Moral Sciences.

＊This field then was Field of Philosophy (Philosophical thoughts of the 20th century).
