Karl R. Popper's philosophy is principally oriented in two principal lines of study: epistemology and political philosophy. Popperian reflection in political philosophy reveals an unequivocal and explicit ethical commitment. Our article seeks to examine this commitment, showing that it is also present in Popper's general epistemological perspective, and especially in his demarcation criterion. Furthermore, always from the optic of this Austrian-Britisch philosopher, we highlight the constructive role that the emergence of failure has in knowledge development. ; La filosofía de Karl R. Popper se orienta, principalmente, según dos grandes líneas: la epistemología y la filosofía política. En lo que respecta a esta segunda vertiente, la reflexión popperiana revela un inequívoco y explícito compromiso ético. Nuestro artículo intenta examinar dicho compromiso mostrando que éste también se encuentra presente en el enfoque epistemológico general de Popper y, de modo especial, en su criterio de demarcación. Conjuntamente con ello, destacamos el papel constructivo que en el proceso de desarrollo del conocimiento —siempre bajo la óptica del filósofo austrobritánico—adquiere la irrupción del fracaso.

6 pages, 4 figures ; The occurrence of the rendezvous fish, Polymetme corythaeola (Alcock, 1898) in Mediterranean Sea is here reported for the first time. A single individual of this benthopelagic fish was caught in February 2020 during a scientific trawl survey. The specimen was collected at a depth of 369 m (upper slope) in the Gulf of Roses (Catalonia, north-western Mediterranean). This circumglobal species could have naturally expanded its distribution through the Strait of Gibraltar, but we cannot totally exclude that its Mediterranean occurrence has been overlooked thus far. This finding highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of Mediterranean deep-sea habitats for a better understanding of their diversity and ongoing transformation ; The ICATMAR-PESCAT project (ref: ARP/1256/2018) was financed by funding from the Catalan Government and European Union FEMP ; With the institutional support of the 'Severo OchoaCentre of Excellence' accreditation (CEX2019-000928-S) ; Peer reviewed
