The three worlds of health information

David Bawden

City University, London, UK, db{at}soi.city.ac.uk

The applicability, validity and usefulness of Karl Popper’s ‘Three Worlds’ epistemology is examined, with specific reference to health-care information and knowledge. It is concluded that Popper’s ideas provide a valuable way of understanding this domain and that, in particular, Popper’s controversial ‘World 3’ of objective knowledge is a valid concept.
