Synopsis:

This unique collection of essays, published together for the first time reveals Karl Popper's engagement with Presocratic philosophy and the enlightenment he experienced in his reading of Parmenides. Karl Popper was inspired to write about Presocratic philosophy for two reasons: to illustrate the notion that all history is the history of problem situations and to show the contributions of early Greek philosophers in the context of European philosophy and humanism.
