An Unpretentious Philosopher: Karl Popper

I think one quality that sets apart the great philosopher from the others is the capability of using plain language to convey profound ideals to common people. Karl Popper is just one of the masters.
Reading Karl Popper's books is a joy. His ordinary language trinkles the extrodinary ideas into our minds. His book "All Life Is Problem Solving" shows you his ideas about science, history, and science of politics with a language that I think even the high school students can easily understand.
One more thing we will understand at the end of reading his book is that the way to truth is paved by unpretentiousness.
