Slow Progress
Not much has been done to advance the project recently due to various distractions including the passing of Minnie, our much loved Boston Terrier, thirteen and a half years old, a good age for the breed.
Several people around the world have been invited to join an email list to be advised of progress on the project and to contribute comments. Some have replied with enthusiasm!
Tracy Harms signed up, he is a colleague from the old Critical Cafe, an email discussion group to discuss Karl Popper's ideas. The Cafe has fallen on hard times in recent years, being dominated by people who detest Popper's ideas. It was never quite the same after a hiatus when the list suddenly closed, for reasons never explained, apparently related to a violent flame war involving actionable statements.
One of the papers in progress is about the "failure of convergence" of Ludwig von Mises, Talcott Parsons and Karl Popper. This paper was going well a few weeks ago but has languished due to problems in handling the changes in Popper's thinking from the time around 1940 which was the high tide of convergence of the three parties.
