"How Popper Got It Wrong" is an in-depth non-fiction book that explores the complex relationship between brain and mind. The author analyzes the development of this theme from ancient to medieval philosophy and questions the common belief that the idea of the mind formulated by René Descartes was already present in the works of Greek philosophy, such as the Homeric Odes. Through a critical engagement with Popperian philosophy and a detailed analysis of the Homeric vocabulary in the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," it is demonstrated that the Cartesian view of the mind is a later development that does not align with the views of Plato and Aristotle. Additionally, the medieval inheritance in the Cartesian system is illuminated, particularly through the examination of universal problems articulated by Augustinian thinkers of the 14th century, such as Pedro Auriole. The first edition of the book was awarded first place in the II. Competition for University Books in the Humanities category in 2006.
