Although I mentioned this essay in passing in my previous blog entry, I’d like to give a hearty endorsement to Nicholas Dykes’ monograph-length essay A Tangled Web of Guesses: A Critical Assessment of the Philosophy of Karl Popper. It is perhaps the best analysis of a mainstream philosopher from an Objectivist perspective that I’ve ever read. (Of course, Dykes knock-down arguments don’t just apply to Popper, but also to the similar ideas in Kant and Hume and others in the history of philosophy.)
Hooray for good philosophy!
