Another book by this thinker ridicules the philosopher king as a "monument of human smallness" and lends its name to an institute founded by George Soros. In another book, this thinker pointed out that even if you count a ton of white (*) swans, that doesn't mean all swans are white, in demonstrating the limits to induction and instead championing the criteria of falsifiability. His masterwork was written in two volumes, the first being "The Spell of Plato."
