Review:
Naraniecki reconfigures Popper s place in twentieth-century philosophy. Focusing on the Kantian problem of transcendental criticism, he tracks Popper s gradual liberation from the constraints of falsificationist philosophy and increasing legitimization of the transcendental. Against the conventional focus on the Vienna Circle, Naraniecki emphasizes the role of the broader Central European context informing his early philosophy. He finds Popper s view of language surprisingly similar to that of the late Wittgenstein, and he suggests that Buehler s evolutionary epistemology enabled Popper to avoid Wittgenstein s linguistic impasse. Naraniecki further argues that Popper s late metaphysics (World 3) shows Hegelian and Platonic features that are crucial to an understanding of his mature thought. His arguments are novel and will evoke a lively debate among Popper scholars, and beyond. - Professor Malachi Hacohen, Director of the European Studies Center, Duke University"
