Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper's most
wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute
insight into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for
applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one
of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental
idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge, but our aims and
our standards, grow through an unending process of trial and
error.
