| | Karl Popper |
 | | For this reason Popper restricted himself to the contention that a theory which is falsified is false and is known to be such, and that a theory which replaces a falsified theory (because it has a higher empirical content than the latter, and explains what has falsified it) is a ‘better theory’ than its predecessor. | | | Thus Popper stresses that it should not be inferred from the fact that a theory has withstood the most rigorous testing, for however long a period of time, that it has been verified; rather we should recognise that such a theory has received a high measure of corroboration. | | | Thus in the final analysis for Popper the activity of problem-solving is as definitive of our humanity at the level of social and political organisation as it is at the level of science, and it is this key insight which unifies and integrates the broad spectrum of his thought. |

| | LTL - Lecture ii - Popper and disconfirmation |
| | Popper felt that Marxism and psychoanalysis were deficient as scientific theories in ways which Einstein’s theory of relativity was not. | | | Popper rejected the idea of theories and observations being either independent from each other or neutral and was much more aware of science as a practical business than the logical positivists. | | | Popper also pointed out another problem with the logical positivist point of view - that theories can make very cautious predictions (that possibly several other theories make too) which even when confirmed are not very surprising, and do not help scientific progress. |

| | A Brief Biography of Sir Karl Popper |
| | Popper's criterion of demarcation is the outcome of a logical/methodological analysis of what has counted as bold ideas and severe criticism, and thus of what promoted the growth of knowledge. | | | Popper was in fact one of Adler's assistants in the social guidance clinics that Adler had set up in the poor districts of Vienna to help children and young people. | | | My point, contrary to Popper, is that "immunizing stratagems" are auxiliary hypotheses that are on the wrong side of the demarcation criterion and precisely those that while saving the original theory from refutation effectively abandon it, replacing it with another theory. |

| | Hacohen is strong on the history of ideas and the foundation of the problems that Popper addressed, both in the philosophy of physics and the philosophy of the social sciences. | | | There is some debate as to whether Popper's dramatic view of science as a succession of revolutions is consistent with the relative conservatism of his political philosophy. | | | He describes Popper's excursion into the social sciences, including the vital role of Felix Kaufman and others as stimulants and foils in the development of his ideas. |

| | Sir Karl Popper |
| | Popper, however, misunderstands the rest of Fries's theory, accusing him of "psychologism" in the sense that Fries supposedly relies on a psychological or subjective sense of certainty to justify instances of immediate knowledge. | | | Popper misses the Kantian aspect of Friesian theory that immediate knowledge consists of phenomenal objects, which as objects, are not merely psychological or subjective. | | | As with Nelson's work, Popper's exposure of the irrationality and danger of the doctrines of philosophers like Hegel and Marx has yet to have its influence properly felt. |

| | Popper's Philosophy of Science |
| | If the form of a theory is such that its basic statements simply don't correspond to experience, or are otherwise not testable, then that theory does not qualify as empirical scientific. | | | Popper admits only theories capable of being tested by experience. | | | We must consider what he means by a "scientific" theory, and by empirical, and how this method can apply to "parts" of theories as well as to "whole" theories, etc. |

| | Sir Karl Popper (1902--93). |
| | Popper's philosophy allows for, and, indeed, calls for "passion or imagination or creative intuition; and it condemns as 'scientism' the notion that science gives us certain knowledge and might even be able one day to give us settled answers to all our legitimate questions."9 | | | Professor Popper's theory has been expressed 5 this way: | | | From 1937-1945, Popper taught philosophy at the University of New Zealand. |

| | Popper, Karl Raimund (1902–94) : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online |
| | After the Anschluss, Popper was stimulated by the problem of why democracies had succumbed to totalitarianism and applied his critical rationalism to political philosophy. | | | By contrast, a prudently constructed open society constructs institutions to ensure that any regime can be ousted without violence, no matter what higher ends it proclaims itself to be seeking. | | | Popper’s ‘falsificationism’ reverses the usual view that accumulated experience leads to scientific hypotheses; rather, freely conjectured hypotheses precede, and are tested against, experience. |

| | Extracts from "Philosophy and the Real World : An Introduction to Karl Popper" by Bryan Magee Published by Open Court ... |
| | As Popper has remarked, institutions are like fortresses in that although to be effective they have to be properly constructed this alone will not make them work: they have also to be properly manned. | | | First, it leads straight to another of Popper's paradoxes, which he calls 'the paradox of sovereignty'. | | | By and large political philosophers have regarded the most important question as being 'Who should rule?' and their differing philosophies seek to justify different answers: a single man, the well-born, the rich, the wise, the strong, the good, the majority, the proletariat, and so on. |
