| Abstract [eng] |
This article examines whether the critical rationalism constructed by Popper always adheres to intellectual modesty, the limitation of scientific theories, and other established requirements, and whether his critique of historicism includes eschatology. Issues of irrational and constructive thought, prophecy and engineering, the accuracy, durability and reliability of scientific predictions, the specifics of historical prediction, the vicissitudes of historicism and eschatology are examined. Popper's claims about the meaning of history and Christianity are discussed in detail. It is shown how the answer to the question of the meaning of history depends on the decision of each individual, on the orientation of the Christian and the Church towards this world and beyond. |
