FAQ About Karl Popper
How did Popper respond to the problem of demarcation?
The problem of demarcation, which concerns distinguishing scientific theories from non-scientific ones, was addressed by Popper with his criterion of falsifiability. He argued that genuine scientific theories must be capable of being refuted through empirical testing, unlike metaphysical or pseudoscientific claims that cannot be falsified. This approach aimed to provide a clear criterion to identify scientific endeavors.
