«Un mundo de propensiones» is the philosophical essay by Karl R. Popper, published by Tecnos in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
Popper interprets probability through propensities: objective tendencies in a continuous process of realization that open the future to objective indeterminacies. He also defends innate knowledge from the Kantian terminology of the a priori and links his evolutionary epistemology with theories about the origin of life and the senses.
It belongs to the collection Cuadernos de Filosofía y Ensayo and its original title is A World of Propensities, in a translation by José Miguel Esteban Cloquell.
For readers interested in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science.
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.
