Description

Check out the CR study page!

This is a group for people interested in critical rationalism in the tradition of Karl Popper, William Warren Bartley III, David Miller, Peter Munz, Thomas Szasz, Mark Notturno, George Soros, F. A. Hayek, Joseph Agassi, Donald T. Campbell and many others.

This is a problem solving forum. Please give us a chance to work on problems that interest you. Problems are stated, tentative theories are then submitted and criticized.

Discussions of what direction critical rationalism will be taking in the future and critical readings of texts related to critical rationalism are also welcome.

Even if you have only a minimal knowledge of critical rationalism, please join the group.

The main goal is to always take argument seriously, and to never forget, "I may be wrong and you may be right, and by means of critical discussion we may get nearer to the truth of the matter."

The group is moderated. We ask for civil discussion that sticks to ideas, not personalities. Here are some detailed posting guidelines.

If you have questions or comments, or if you experience a problem please contact the list owners immediately. Thanks.
