Synopsis

Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the “demarcation problem,” or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability – that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation – against the prevailing views of his day. Now widely considered among the most important books in the history of philosophy of science, The Logic of Scientific Discovery remains essential reading for scholars, scientists, and anyone interested in what makes science, science. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Goodreads review by Kuszma on May 23, 2024

Mágikus erővel bír ez a könyv: bármilyen fitten is kezdtem bele, három mondat után azon kaptam magam, hogy ásítok. A hátsó borítóra ugyan ráírta valaki, hogy "a művelt nagyközönségnek is izgalmas és élvezhető olvasmány", de vagy nagyon el akarta adni a kötetet, vagy végzetesen máshogy definiáljuk a......more

Strictly to be confined within the realms of the scientific disciplines. But as far as other realms of human activity are concerned, the methodology espoused here is to be taken in caution.......more
