20th century philosopher. Normally credited as philosopher of science or political philosopher, but I think ought to be recognised as an epistemologist.

- epistemology : PopperianEpistemology (more interesting I think)

Don't know yet what to make of Friesianism ....
Quora Answer : What are the best books on the life and work of Karl Popper?
I recommend his autobiography Unended Quest. That gave me a couple of insights that helped me frame his thinking and come to a better understanding.
Also, I love the extracts about the pre-Socratics in the David Miller edited selections book. I think the original is called The World of Parmenides or something, though I haven't read that.
