Karl Popper publishes his first book
In 1934, Karl Popper published his first book concerning the philosophy of science called, "Logik der Forschung" (The Logic of Scientific Discovery). Although, Popper did not agree with his publishers outlook on logic and history, so he turned his efforts towards teaching others about his beliefs. -
Popper becomes a professor
Popper turned his interest towards teaching students philosophy at Canterbury University College, which was located in New Zealand. While spending time here, Karl worked on what would become his next book, "The Poverty of Historicism"(1957). He taught in New Zealand for a total of eight years, ending his time here, in 1945. After his time spent in New Zealand, he went back to his home in England, and continued his career as a professor at London School of Economics until he retired in 1969. -
Focusing in on different parts in the philosophies of science
Popper spent much of his time, once back in England, focusing on a wide array of topics that encompassed entropy, quantum mechanics, evolution, and falsification. Another main topic that Popper focused on, was the debate between realism and anti-realism. After looking into these issues, Popper published two books during this time, including many of these topics, "The Propensity Interpretation of Probability" and "Conjectures and Refutations". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-sGqBsWv4 -
Final accomplishments and publications
As Popper's life came to an end he published one last book on his thoughts and ideas called "The Philosophy of Karl Popper" (1974). This book really showed his matured views and simplifications on his thoughts. Shortly after he died, an autobiography of himself called "Unended Quest" was published, which mainly showcased his changing outlook on views, especially of the philosophy of science.
