Popper’s ideas were, nearly 40 years ago, famously declared by Bertie Brookes (1980) to be the foundation of information science. This idea has rather fallen by the wayside, though it has been revived from time to time
If library and information studies (LIS) and philosophy are both fields of design, there may be more confluences than we previously imagined
