Popper's mastery as a philosophic critic is no where in better evidence than in his discussion of Aristotle in chapter 11. Popper brilliantly shows why Aristotle cannot be regarded either as a scientific thinker or even as a defender of reason. Aristotle's doctrine of definintions and his essentialistic epistemology, Popper contends, only serve to bring about a great deal of hairsplitting, verbalism, and despair with reason and argument. "Scholasticism and mysticism and despair in reason, these are the unavoidable results of the essentialism of Plato and Aristotle," concludes. "And Plato's open revolt against freedom becomes, with Aristotle, a secret revolt against reason." Since Aristotle's speculative methods of determining matters of fact still dominates the cerebral processes of most modern social thinkers (think of Marcuse or Ayn Rand, for instance), Popper's critique serves as a rallying cry for those of us who want to bring social thought and philosophy back within the confines of empirical reality and the scientific method.
Popper's attempt at saving the Western World, part II. After refuting Plato in part I -to many shocking and "a priori" intellectually suicidal already- Popper went one better yet in part II: taking on Heidegger and Hegel (amongst others), the German fuehrers of contemporary philosophical thinking. - Unprecedented impertinence, utter blasphemy. Well, he did it nevertheless and did it mercilessly, again. The philosophical establishment was not pleased. But the world at large, us, left with a much clearer picture about what kind of ideas we better NOT base our civic order, life and liberty on. Mankind owes Popper for his "open society" book(s). Some of the greatest stuff ever printed. Do your civic self, your community, a favor. Don't let the century expire without reading this, one of its, yes, "most important" books.
