The Three Worlds Theory outlined by Karl Popper in the 1960s has gained enthusiastic supporters, but many problems with the theory have also been pointed out. Among these problems, in this paper I will focus on the growth of knowledge, which is one of the key concepts in the Three Worlds Theory. First, I will reply to a criticism that is often made on the basis of a comparison between Popper's world 3 and Plato's world of ideas. Second, I will consider the relationship between the growth of knowledge and the autonomy of world 3. Finally, I will suggest that a study of a metaphysical evolutionary theory is necessary.
