"Realism and the Aim of Science". I should perhaps mention that Popper nowhere
mentions or addresses "implicatures" in this book. But I think I can safely say
that Popper doesn't think "implicatures" can help us (where empirical
tests and logical arguments fail) to decide between "Realism" and its
alternatives."
Well, for the record, on p. 272, Sir Karl writes:
"I greatly admire Moore as a realist and as a defender of common sense."
which is a good start, even if not the start of Sir Karl's _essay_.
Cheers,
