Agassi is an independent philosopher who shows basic trust in individuals given their inclination for progress, thus espousing eudaimony in matters cognitive and ethical. He rejected Popper's view of human nature as inherently regressive, which led to the recommendation of the disciplining character and the promotion of hope through ethical injunction. The paper presents this Popper-Agassi intellectual conflict as an impasse, among others, due to the participants' lack of critical rationalist pedagogical developmental theory and technology to advance critical minds and resilient identities, containing and operating both friendly openness and critical boldness vis-à-vis a reality in flux.
