My book “Returning to Karl Popper” 2014 did not aim at finding and filling a “gap in the literature”, rather it aimed to show that Popper was a radically different kind of thinker to what his students and acolytes claimed him to be. It aimed to change the way we engage with Popper’s philosophy.

At the end of the day, Karl Popper’s message is something like this - you better safeguard the institutional checking mechanisms that allow you to throw out potential tyrants, because when the mob feel they’ve been swindled they will elect someone who can do the violence they crave for them.
