As a student and disciple of Karl Popper and longtime managing editor ofPhilosophy of the Social Sciences, Ian C. Jarvie extended the notion of Critical Rationalism to be useful in anthropology, aesthetics, film studies, and various social sciences. In thisFestschrift, contributors from a range of interests and disciplines engage with the Popperian legacy and Jarvies scholarly and editorial work in Critical Rationalism to contextualize it in the broader, contemporary intellectual landscape. These original essays not only honor Jarvies legacy, but expand it to cross the philosophical divide between analytic and continental schools of thought. In so doing, the authors bring the state-of-the-art achievements of Critical Rationalism to the forefront of current academic debates.

Raphael Sassower is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center of Legal Studies at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, USA.

Nathaniel Laor is Chairman of Medical Education and Professor of Psychiatry and Philosophy at Tel Aviv University, Israel.
