A review by cinaedussinister
The Logic of Scientific Discovery by Karl Popper

4.0

This is undeniably a very important and influential book: it is, in my opinion, what saved science-oriented philosophy from the dreaded Logical Positivists. He did this by replacing the greatly flawed verification principle with the significantly more justified and prudent falsification principle, and for this Popper deserves much praise. Although I don’t follow his Falsification principle myself as I find it still a little too simple and wrought with assumptions (I am a follower of Deleuze’s difference principle), his work nevertheless constitutes likely the biggest advance in Epistemology in the 20th Century, and can thus be classified as a great work.
