of
In Search of a Better World (Lectures and Essays from Thirty Years):
"This collection might strike some of those who've read his other major works as redundant. Popper's favorite philosophical piece of writing was Plato's Apology. He truly admired the skepticism of Socrates. Popper, it seems, is also not a huge fan of "
