Materialist Foundations of Critical Rationalism

The main argument Popper puts forward for making his metaphysical theory of the three worlds plausible is based on the idea that World 2 of the consciousness or human subjectivity and World 3 of ideas, problems, myths and theories invented by man are essential in order to understand the meaning of rationality, in other words, to understand the possibility and value of rational criticism. On the other hand Popper considers that the theory of the three worlds is incompatible with a materialist ontology. In fact a good deal of his contribution in Popper and Eccles [1977] is devoted to the criticism of materialism and the defense of the metaphysical hypothesis of the immaterial reality of the mind and its products. Obviously this means that for Popper rationalism and materialism are incompatible.
