Realism and the Aim of Science: From the Postscript to The Logic of Scientific Discovery


Overview

Popper formulates and explains his non-justificationist theory of knowledge. Science - empirical science - aims at true explanatory theories, yet it can never prove, or finally establish, or justify any of its theories as true, not even if it is in fact a true theory. Science must continue to question and criticize all its theories, even those which happen to be true.

The whole work shares with the other volumes of the Postscript an immense capacity to stimulate and clarify the mind of even the least sympathetic reader. <br>- Nature <br>
