The reason I have chosen to present this survey is that I always find it difficult to present my own views on any specific topic, and I wish to explain this difficulty somewhat. My views are those of an apostate and one from the school of Sir Karl Popper, who was for long little known and less understood yet whose popularity is now rising somewhat. I find it hard to assume my audience to be sufficiently familiar with Popper's views to enable me to proceed to criticize him without much explanation and offer modifications to his ideas as I would wish to do. I shall soon present some gross misconceptions of Popper's views which, I feel, I have to clear beforehand. But there is a more serious obstacle than mere misconceptions. Those who are familiar with Popper's views are often defenders of the majority views; this is to be expected of course, yet it causes for me no small difficulty. I am always wary of being taken as a critic of Popper from the majority's viewpoint (from the right, as it were) whereas, in fact, if I at all enter the debate between Popper and the majority I am so much on Popper's side that my disagreement with him becomes negligible. This is, of course, no enviable position either. I confess I have myself found it amusing that, say, members of different religious camps unite against the threat of agnosticism; yet, this amusement is only just when aimed at some petty politics of a disagreement; otherwise it is perfectly reasonable that Catholic and Protestant should view differences between their views as secondary compared with what they share in opposing the agnostic.
