Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics is one of the three volumes of Karl Popper’s Postscript to the Logic of scientific Discovery. The Postscript is the culmination of Popper’s work in the philosophy of physics and a new famous attack on subjectivist approaches to philosophy of science.  Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics is the third volume of the Postscript. It may be read independently, but it also forms part of Popper’s interconnected argument in the Postscript. It presents Popper’s classic statement on quantum physics and offers important insights into his thinking on problems of method within science and physics as a whole.

Realism and the Aim of Science is one of the three volumes of Karl Popper’s Postscript to the Logic of scientific Discovery. The Postscript is the culmination of Popper’s work in the philosophy of physics and a new famous attack on subjectivist approaches to philosophy of science.  Realism and the Aim of Science is the first volume of the Postcript. Popper here formulates and explains his non-justificationist theory of knowledge: science aims at true explanatory theories, yet it can never prove, or justify, any theory to be true, not even if is a true theory. Science must continue to question and criticise all its theories, even those that happen to be true. Realism and the Aim of Science presents Popper’s mature statement on scientific knowledge and offers important insights into his thinking on problems of method within science.

At one time, scientific method seemed to satisfy the need for universality and necessity on which modern science was based. It was possible for everyone to retrace the same methodological itinerary, with the assurance of reaching certain results. Today, owing to the complexity of reality, this conviction seems to be no longer tenable. But it would be a great mistake, nevertheless, to maintain that it is pointless to talk about method.Even disorder itself, when disassembled according to a criterion, shows some possibilities of order, and thanks to the help of variables, can be understood and represented graphically. We find ourselves faced with a paradox: from apparent casuality, order begins to emerge little by little - certainly not a static order of the Aristotelian or scholastic type, but a dynamic order which, once a certain threshold is passed, runs the risk of hurling itself back into chaos, and, often, of preparing once again for some forms of order.It seems almost like meeting with some kind of "logical unpredictability", which nevertheless proves possible to measure, even if at times only approximately. To speak of "logical unpredictability" may seem almost a contradiction in terms, but as has been amply demonstrated by a series of experiments, among all the possible trajectories of disorder, nature only favours certain ones.

This book contains two lectures - given in 1988 and 1989 respectively - which belong to Karl Popper's late work, most of which is still unpublished. The first introduces a new view of causality, based on Popper's interpretation of quantum theory, yet freed of difficulty. It is a new view of the universe - a view that easily merges with the commonsense view that our will is free. The second lecture gives a glimpse of human knowledge as it evolves from animal knowledge. Both lectures have been expanded by Popper for publication.
