Abstract

On occasion of Hans Albert’s 100-th anniversary the paper addresses a wider audience of philosophers, political scientists and economists who are broadly interested in critical rationalism but not well acquainted with Albert’s systematization of the Popperian philosophical program. Laying out Albert’s intellectual career and his critical realism, fallibilism and methodological revisionism puts him on the present intellectual PPE map as a philosopher-economist in his own right. Beyond contributions to the “Positivismusstreit” and his seminal work on “Model Platonism” in economics, in particular his views on technological thinking and the role of institutions in science have wide ranging, still underappreciated implications.
