Refining Theories for Meaningful Discourse

This week we consider: Is falsification falsifiable? Was Popper a “naive falsificationist”?

Why do so many people think he was? (Including at least one of his own students!)

Is falsification itself a philosophical theory that makes it immune from falsification? Does the Duhem-Quine problem, or the assertion that theory exist in an interwoven web of other theories, create a problem for falsification?

What exactly is falsification anyhow? It's about showing that a theory is false, right? Right? Popper?

Bruce considers these questions and more as our infinite journey into epistemology continues.
