But I struggled through it, and the rest of his was OK after that. I read the canon for H&P of science for a General System's Theory unit.
Much prefer Thomas Kuhn's short, brilliant effort at what science IS. Whose views, IMO, simply encompass Popper's and extend them.
Both are native Germans, and yet one writes clear English easily, and the other works way too hard.
John Von Neumann's worth a read too. As is much of Jacob Bronowski's less mainstream stuff.
