"Joseph Agassi has produced a useful, thought-provoking, and entertaining collection of essays on Popper's philosophy and those of his most popular critics. ... As a distinctive and provocative perspective on both the personalities and the arguments of Popper, Kuhn, Feyerabend, and Lakatos, Popper and His Popular Critics is a must-read for anyone interested in the defining debates between these celebrated philosophers." (Steven William Clarke, Science and Education, Vol. 25, 2016)

This volume examines Popper’s philosophy by analyzing the criticism of his most popular critics: Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos. Starting from the assumption that Hume’s criticism of induction is valid, the book explores the central criticism and objections that these three critics have raised.
