UNENDED QUEST

At the age of eight, Karl Popper was puzzling over the idea of infinity and by f
ifteen was beginning to take a keen interest in his father's well-stocked librar
y of books. Unended Quest recounts these moments and many others in the life of
one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, providing an indi
spensable account of the ideas that influenced him most. As an introduction to P
opper's philosophy, Unended Quest also shines.



Popper lucidly explains the ce
ntral ideas in his work, making this book ideal for anyone coming to Popper's li
fe and work for the first time.
