First publication of Karl R. Popper's (1902-94) small Platonic dialogue, in which the author lets Socrates and Theaetetus, the old philosopher and the mathematical prodigy, discuss the self-reference that can occur both in ordinary conversation and in the most complex of philosophical discussions.Besides philosophical elaborations as the present one, Popper is celebrated as one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Especially within the philosophy of science and scientific method - where he has presented his Critical Rationalism and his theory of falsification - and within political theory - where he has presented his strong critique of historicism and the idea of the open society and its enemies - Popper has left a major mark on modern thinking. In the present issue of 'Mind' there are also contributions by J. N. Findlay, A. Stroll, G. N. A. Vesey, etc. .
