They speak about the life of the philosopher Joseph Agassi (1927-2023), where his work continued from and diverged from that of Karl Popper, Agassi\u2019s historiography&amp;nbsp;of Science, the important and central role that Agassi gave to metaphysics in understanding scientific development, how ethics should be understood as a direct implication of individual autonomy and critical rationalism, and how critical rationalism can help us to make sense of various issues such as mental illness and nationalism. Nimrod Bar-Am is a senior lecturer of logic and rhetoric at the Communication department of Sapir academic college, Israel. He is the author of In Search of the Simple Introduction to Communication (Springer 2016), and of Extensionalism: The Revolution in Logic (Springer 2008), as well as various papers on the history of logic and the philosophy of communication. &amp;nbsp; *** Nimrod Bar-Am\u2019s resume and publications can be found at: Nimrod Bar-Am | Sapir Academic College - Academia.edu *** Nimrod Bar-Am\u2019s books can be found at: Books by Nimrod Bar Am | Book Depository *** Joseph Agassi\u2019s resume and publications can be found at: Prof. Joseph Agassi (tau.ac.il) *** Joseph Agassi\u2019s books can be found at: Books by Joseph Agassi | Book Depository *** The Popperian Podcast #18 \u2013 Joseph Agassi \u2013 \u2018Karl Popper\u2019s Hopeful Monsters\u2019  The Popperian Podcast: The Popperian Podcast #18 \u2013 Joseph Agassi \u2013 \u2018Karl Popper\u2019s Hopeful Monsters\u2019 (libsyn.com) *** The Popperian Podcast #19 \u2013 Joseph Agassi \u2013 \u2018Rules of the Game\u2019  The Popperian Podcast: The Popperian Podcast #19 \u2013 Joseph Agassi \u2013 \u2018Rules of the Game\u2019 (libsyn.com) &amp;nbsp; Support via Patreon \u2013 https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/jedleahenry Support via PayPal \u2013 https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/jrleahenry Shop \u2013 https:\/\/shop.spreadshirt.com.au\/JLH-shop\/ Support via Bitcoin - 31wQMYixAJ7Tisp773cSvpUuzr2rmRhjaW Website \u2013 The Popperian Podcast \u2014 Jed Lea-Henry Libsyn \u2013 The Popperian Podcast (libsyn.com) Youtube \u2013  The Popperian Podcast - YouTube Twitter \u2013 https:\/\/twitter.com\/jedleahenry RSS - https:\/\/popperian-podcast.libsyn.com\/rss *** Underlying artwork by Arturo Espinosa ","author_name":"The Popperian Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.jedleahenry.org\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/25902135\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/25902135"}
