Abstract

The political liberalism of Karl Popper is usually interpreted as a sedimentation of his science philosophy, which is based on the impossibility of a true certain Knowledge. This work intends to demonstrate that this precise interpretation doesn't reflect a careful reading of the political philosophy of Popper, which in fact is based on a categorical requirement derived from his ethics.
