ABSTRACT
The bases for the eristic suggestion of plagiarism of Popper’s two best-known and prominent ideas: that of falsifiability and the Open Society is more obvious for the latter, but after the publication of Hacohen’s intellectual biography of Popper the basis for the former is clear for the first time. What is perhaps most surprising is that there is one idea that links the two and the major philosophical problems they generate and that Popper claims to solve (at least with regard to induction).
