FAQ About Karl Popper
How does Popper's idea of falsifiability apply to social sciences?
Applying Popper's idea of falsifiability to the social sciences can be challenging, as these fields often deal with complex, multifaceted human behaviors that are less predictable than natural phenomena. However, his emphasis on testability encourages social scientists to formulate hypotheses that can be empirical tested and potentially falsified. This approach still supports rigorous scientific inquiry within the social sciences.
