Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the twentieth century, and he was also a social and political philosopher of considerable stature. He described himself as a critical rationalist, opposed scepticism and relativism in science and human affairs, and was a committed defender of the Open Society. His influence was wide: he taught at the London School of Economics, where his students included Imre Lakatos, Paul Feyerabend and George Soros, and he had close ties with the economist Friedrich Hayek. He wrote an intellectual autobiography, Unended Quest, and The Myth of the Framework, published in 1994.
