‎Amsterdam, 1968 + (Vienna, 1968). Both 8vo. Both unbound and stapled with brown paper-backstrip. ""Epistemology..."": nice and clean copy. Pp. (333)-373. ""On the Theory..."": backstrip a bit torn, otherwise a nice and clean copy. Printed on rectos only. Pp. (25)-53.‎

‎Both works being in the scarce original re-prints of proof-prints (with the original corrections reproduced), both with signed presentation-inscription on top of first page to Tönu Puu [the first reading: ""To Tönu Puu / from K. R. Popper."", the second: : ""To Tönu Puu / from K. R. Popper / with many thanks / and kind regards.""]. of Popper's important works on ""the third world"", which together forms his ""Popperian Cosmology"", focusing on the ""third world"", namely the body of human knowledge expressed in its manifold forms.Tönu Puu is Professor of Economics at the University of Umeå in Sweden. In 1967 Puu published ""Some Reflections on the Relation between Economic Theory and Economic Reality"", which caught Popper's attention - and to such an extent that he cited it. The two present works constitute the main contributions to what is known as Popperian cosmology, in which Popper divides the world into three parts. ""EPISTEMOLOGY WITHOUT A KNOWING SUBJECT"" explores the third world.""The main topic of this lecture will be what I often call, for want of a better name, ""the third world"". To explain this expression I will point out that, without taking the word ""world"" or ""universe"" too seriously, we may distinguish the following three worlds or universes" first, the world of physical objects or of physical states secondly, the world of states of consciousness, or of mental states [...]" and thirdly the world of objective contents of thought, especially of scientific and poetic thoughts and of works of art. Thus what I call ""the third world"" has admittedly much in common with Plato's theory of forms or ideas, and therefore also with Hegel's objective spirit, though my theory differs radically, in some decisive respects. It has more in common still with Bolzano's theory of a universe of propositions in themselves and of truth in themselves, though it differs from Bolzano's also. My third world resembles most closely the universe of Frege's objective contents of thought."" (Popper, Karl. Epistemology Without a Knowing Subject, pp. (333)).""In ""Epistemology Without a Knowing Subject"" Popper offers a ""biological"" argument for doubting that minds and bodies exhaust all the entities inhabiting the human world. Not only is man a conscious animal, he is also a being whose communicative capacity has evolved to the point of being able to describe and criticize his encounters with the world"" (Fuller, Steve. Social Epistemology, Indiana University Press, 1988, p. 51).In ""ON THE THEORY OF THE OBJECTIVE MIND"", ""the matter at issue is not, as Descartes, the knowledge of particular subjects but a knowledge that is independent of particular subjects, that is, intersubjective. [It] has much in common with ""Plato´s theory of Forms and Ideas"" and ""Hegel´s objective spirit"". (Keuth, Herbert. The philosophy of Karl Popper, Cambridge University Press, 2004, p. 294).""To sum up, I have tried to show that the idea of the third world is of interest for a theory of understanding which aims at combining an intuitive understanding of reality with the objectivity of rational criticism"", (Popper, Karl. On the Theory of the Objective Mind, p. 47).Karl Popper still exercises extensive influence on a variety of different thinkers, scholars and economists. The billionaire investor George Soros claims that his investment strategies are modeled upon Popper's understanding of the advancement of knowledge through the distinctly Hegelian idea of falsification.‎

‎First edition of Popper's important work on ""the third world"", a significant part of the ""Popperian Cosmology"". The present work, together with Popper's ""On the Theory of the Objective Mind"", also published in 1968, constitutes an important contribution to what is known as Popperian cosmology, in which Popper divides the world into three parts.

‎Kirk on Heraclitus, and Fire as the Cause of Balance. (In: Mind. A Qarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy. Vol. LXXII. No. 287, July, 1963.)‎

‎Edinburgh & N. Y., T. Nelson & Sons, 1963. 8vo. Orig. printed grey wrappers w. small nicks to extremities. Internally fine. Pp. 386-392 (the rest of the volume: pp. 309-85, 393-462, [6 pp. advertisements]).‎

‎First publication of Karl R. Popper's discussion with G. S. Kirk, who, in an article named 'Popper on Science and the Presocratics', criticized Popper for having ""a fundamentally mistaken attitude to scientific methodology"". But in the discussion Popper does not involve himself in a direct exchange with Kirk, but instead develops some points about the understanding of Heraclitus that go against the interpretation of Kirk. Thus Popper criticizes his critic by using his arguments against himself.Besides philosophical elaborations as the present one, Popper is celebrated as one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Especially within the philosophy of science and scientific method - where he has presented his Critical Rationalism and his theory of falsification - and within political philosophy - where he has presented his strong critique of historicism and the idea of the open society and its enemies - Popper has left a major mark on modern thinking. In the present issue of 'Mind' there are also contributions by J. F. M. Hunter, J. O. Wisdom, K. Walton, etc.‎

‎Edinburgh & N. Y., T. Nelson & Sons, 1954. 8vo. Orig. printed grey wrappers w. small nicks to extremities. Internally fine. Pp. 162-69 (the rest of the volume: pp. 145-61, 170-288, [4 pp. advertisements]).‎

‎First publication of Karl R. Popper's (1902-94) small Platonic dialogue, in which the author lets Socrates and Theaetetus, the old philosopher and the mathematical prodigy, discuss the self-reference that can occur both in ordinary conversation and in the most complex of philosophical discussions.Besides philosophical elaborations as the present one, Popper is celebrated as one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Especially within the philosophy of science and scientific method - where he has presented his Critical Rationalism and his theory of falsification - and within political theory - where he has presented his strong critique of historicism and the idea of the open society and its enemies - Popper has left a major mark on modern thinking.

‎Edinburgh & N. Y., T. Nelson & Sons, 1962. 8vo. Orig. printed grey wrappers w. small nicks to extremities. Internally fine. Pp. 69-73 (the rest of the volume: pp. 1-68, 70-144, [4 pp. advertisements])‎

‎First publication of Karl R. Popper's (1902-94) mind-puzzle, set forth to prove that there are problems in Rudolf Carnap's (1891-1970) idea of rule of succession - for example ""because Carnap operates with the idea of individual bottoms [read: entities of the world] each of which has a NAME in his language. But this is very dangerous assumption (...)"" for it may tempt us to use these names as if they were predicates, or as if they were indication position, or order"". Besides philosophical elaborations as the present one, Popper is celebrated as one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Especially within the philosophy of science and scientific method - where he has presented his Critical Rationalism and his theory of falsification - and within political philosophy - where he has presented his strong critique of historicism and the idea of the open society and its enemies - Popper has left a major mark on modern thinking. In the present issue of 'Mind' there are also contributions by W. W. Rozeboom, P. Zinkernagel, P. E. Davis, etc.‎

‎The Poverty of Historicism.‎

‎London, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1957 8vo. In the original full cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Library stamps to front free end-paper, half title and title page. Miscolouring to spine. Internally fine and clean. XIV, 166 pp.‎

‎First printing of one of Popper's most influential works: ""The Poverty of Historicism and The Open Society and Its Enemies, his most impassioned and brilliant social works, are as a consequence a powerful defence of democratic liberalism as a social and political philosophy, and a devastating critique of the principal philosophical presuppositions underpinning all forms of totalitarianism"" (SEP)Popper argues, it is logically demonstrable by a consideration of the implications of the fact that no scientific predictor, human or otherwise, can possibly predict, by scientific methods, its own future results. From this it follows, he holds, that 'no society can predict, scientifically, its own future states of knowledge'(The present work, P vii)‎
