• OUR SISTER SITE: TCS - Taking Children Seriously : "... TCS assumes that Popperian epistemology applies equally to all knowledge creation, including in particular to the acquisition of existing knowledge. In fact, another way of characterising the distinctive feature of TCS is that we believe that all knowledge in a human mind is generated by that mind's internal criticism of existing knowledge (whether inborn, cultural or from whatever source), rather than by the transmission of existing knowledge either by instruction or otherwise."

Editors's Choice: Online Articles

Barry and I chose these articles not because we agree with them, but because they may provoke useful criticism. Not all worthwhile articles are appropriate for The Critical Rationalist, because either they have been published elsewhere or are too anecdotal or expository, or are simply not intended as a scholarly product. Substantial criticisms of these articles may well be suitable for TCR.

• The Ethical Roots of Karl Popper's Epistemology by Mariano Artigas. Presented in 1997 at the University of Notre Dame, as part of a conference sponsored by the Jacques Maritain Center. J. C. LeGere writes that "... [T]his is a very substantial paper by a distinguished Popper scholar dealing with both the thought and biography of Karl Popper."
