The Myth of the Framework: In Defence of Science and Rationality is a 1994 book by the philosopher Karl Popper.[1]

The book is a collection of papers "prepared on different occasions as lectures for non-specialist audiences" (p. x).

The author formulates a premise for the book as: I may be wrong and you may be right, and by an effort, we may get nearer to the truth (p. xii).
