Abstract
A key foundation of upright (not just) scientific work lies in the disclosure of one’s own scientific or scientific-theoretical positions. The foundations of this book are based on the work of Karl Popper and his student Ralf Dahrendorf. With Popper, we first take up his concept of the Open Society and its non-utopianism (Sect. 2.1) as well as his three-world theory, which is concretized for our treatise on the theory of the three landscapes and enables us to not only understand landscape as a social or individual construct, but also to consider its materiality as well as the feedback between the individual and the social on the one hand, and the material dimensions on the other (Sect. 2.2).
