First UK edition of vol. I, first US of II and III, each volume a presentation copy to the British physicist Michael Redhead, inscribed in the year of publication on the front free endpaper of each, "To Michael Redhead from Karl Popper", and dated respectively "14-3-83", "13-8-82", and "12-8-82". Redhead (1929-2020) was a colleague of Popper's at the London School of Economics. Redhead was greatly influenced by Popper's work, a testament to Popper's influence both within the philosophy of science, and on the methods of practising scientists. Redhead published an article, "Popper and Quantum Theory", in 1995. Presentation sets to the same recipient are very scarce in commerce, due to the gap between publication, and a history of inscribed sets being broken up. Postscript to the Logic of Scientific Discovery is one of the major works on determinism and indeterminism, Popper's three-part postscript to his first published book, The Logic of Scientific Discovery (1935 in German, 1959 English). Although the culmination of Popper's work in the philosophy of physics, the Postscript took almost three decades to be published. Originally intended as appendices to a later edition of The Logic of Scientific Discovery, the three works grew into a fully fledged work which actually exceeded in length The Logic of Scientific Discovery. In 1956-7 the Postscript was all set to be published and already existed in the form of galley proofs, but because of his deteriorating eyesight Popper was never able to proof-read the galleys and the whole project remained on hold for 25 years. Three works, octavo. Original black cloth, spines lettered in gilt. With dust jackets (vol. II in UK edition jacket). Minor ink sidelining in a few instances by recipient. Jackets lightly toned with minor edgewear and a few peripheral closed tears, prices intact; a very good set.

First edition, first impression, presentation copy from the author to his friend, the philosopher Anthony Meredith Quinton (1925-2010), inscribed on the front free endpaper "To Tony from Karl November 1982". Quinton taught philosophy at Oxford from 1955 onwards, joining A. J. Ayer's seminal discussion group there. He was firmly in the Anglo-American analytic school, a staunch empiricist, and no fan of the continental philosophers. His three key works were published in the 1970s: The Nature of Things (1973), a bold defence of materialism ranging from metaphysics to the theory of value; Utilitarian Ethics (1973), defending the utilitarian notion that morality consists in promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number; and The Politics of Imperfection (1978), on the secular and religious traditions of English conservative thought. Elected president of Trinity College, Oxford in 1978, Quinton became more involved in public affairs, and acted as an advisor to Margaret Thatcher's government, for which he was rewarded with a life peerage in 1982. Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics was the third in Popper's three-part postscript to his first published book, The Logic of Scientific Discovery (1936), a postscript decades in its conclusion, and which grew into a fully-fledged work which actually exceeded in length The Logic of Scientific Discovery. Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Top edge lightly soiled else a fine copy, in near-fine jacket, lightly toned with minor peripheral creasing.
