A few clips on Karl Popper and his anti-inductivist conception of science. This comes from the 1998 series called the Examined Life. #philosophy #popper #epistemology #science
I have never liked philosophers talking about science. They begin by misunderstanding what is knowledge. As our knowledge is refined from time to time and often leads to falsifiability, philosopher thinks knowledge is not attainable. In reality our incomplete knowledge often lets us to comprehend that which is incomprehensible(Einstein).
@@DSAK55 It is difficult to define pre-science, philosophy and religions are explanations satisfying human curiosity. What I fail to grasp why European philosophers and politicians are pedophilias, with pride and not hiding, even Freud.
I see what you mean. Popper hated Aristotle which for me is a great defect. Popper was a great philosopher of the scientific METHOD. His revolution is EPISTEMOLOGICAL. No one is perfect.
There is still a circular argument in macroevolution, homology and common ancestry! You cant really prove that with out making cicrular argument which is a big insult to how science works!
@MikeyShady1 He once said evolution was not science but a "metaphysical research program". He latter retracted that. If you want to be a philosopher of science you better know the subject and Popper somehow didn't.
While it’s true that all knowledge starts from experience, it doesn’t necessarily arise from experience. Immanuel Kant
Wish it were longer.
Actually, all of these are pretty much Peirce's views from 19th century.
We can’t know if all swans are white

most, but not all philosophy is pre-science, pre-sociology, etc

I like the fake German accent.
"Logical Positivism"
Which leads us to the reproducibility crisis in science today. Research data, mechanisms and methods must be reproducible .
there is no "reproducibility crisis in science today", you're just repeating rightwing bullshit
Since he initially didn't understand evolution, he had to be corrected, I can't see him as a "great" philosopher of science.
Can you elaborate on that?

@@abdalrahmanmahmoud9209well, science works via criticism. Critique and conquer, refute and make our theories better! Go for it.
