«La televisión es mala maestra» is the essay by Karl Popper and collaborators, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (106 pages, in Spanish).
The book starts from the idea that, if television were a person, most people would prefer to keep it away from children, and asks why society lets it take the place of parents. Karl Popper and his collaborators analyze what the medium teaches, its influence and its problems, inviting a re-examination of our relationship with the screen.
The book belongs to the Biblioteca Universitaria de Bolsillo collection and was originally published in 1994 as «Cattiva maestra televisione».
Aimed at the general public and those interested in media sociology and the impact of television on childhood.
Sir Karl Raimund Popper was an Austrian–British philosopher, academic and social commentator. One of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science, Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method in favour of empirical falsification made possible by his falsifiability criterion, and for founding the Department of Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. According to Popper, a theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can be scrutinised with decisive experiments. Popper was opposed to the classical justificationist account of knowledge, which he replaced with "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy", namely critical rationalism.
