Abstract

The reflection of the philosopher Karl Popper on pre-Socratic thought is guided largely by the search for the origin of philosophical theses that constitute the framework of his own thought. Among these theses are the recognition of the limitation of human knowledge, critical rationalism, falsificationism, interest in cosmogony, and rejection of inductivism. Therefore, although Popper’s observations are always bold and original, they are not always rigorous from the academic point of view.
