The Logic of Scientific Discovery
Book • 1935
Karl Popper's "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" is a highly influential work in the philosophy of science.
It critiques the traditional view of scientific method as inductive, arguing instead that scientific knowledge is developed through a process of conjecture and refutation.
Popper introduces the concept of falsifiability, suggesting that a scientific theory must be testable and potentially falsifiable to be considered scientific.
The book has had a profound impact on the philosophy of science, influencing the way scientists approach the development and testing of theories.
It remains a cornerstone of modern epistemology.
