After The Logic of Scientific Discovery and The Open Society, the two books combined in this volume are Popper's third principal work. The book contains his theory of interaction as a solution to the ancient body-mind problem which continues to puzzle philosophers and scientists to this very day. His theory of evolutionary emergence maintains that the world 2 of consciousness emerged from the physical world 1 and produced world 3 of the products of the human mind. Worlds 2 and 3 are autonomous and follow their own laws. This enables the conscious world 2 to act on the brain and therefore on world 1. Because consciousness interacts intensively with world 3 of language and objective knowledge rather than being a mere neural activity, man has a free will. Materialism and behaviorism have been proven wrong; freedom and responsibility are not an illusion.
