Karl Popper and the ‘The Problem Of Induction’: A Fresh Lo ok

KARL POPPER AND THE ‘THE PROBLEM OF INDUCTION’: A FRESH LOOK AT THE LOGIC OF TESTING SCIENTIFIC THEORIES For the centenary of Sir Karl Popper (1902–1994) PROBLEMS OF INDUCTION AND CORROBORATION Popper formulated his philosophy of science in the late 1920s largely concerned with two problems (Popper 1930)

induction is unreservedly accepted by the whole of science and that no man can seriously doubt this principle in everyday life either' 2Yet even supposing this were the case-for after all 'the whole of science' might err-I should still contend that a principle of induction is superfluous and that it must lead to log ical inconsistencies

What was Popper's philosophy of Science?
Popper formulated his philosophy of science in the late 1920s largely concerned with two problems (Popper 1930). One was to demarcate sci- ence from non-science, and there he proposed falsifiability (synonymously, refutability) as the necessary and sufficient condition for a theory to be sci- entific.
How many problems did Popper solve?
There is no single problem of induction; as we shall soon see, Popper himself claimed to have solved two. I note quickly a third one, of great importance to scientists, concerning strategies for framing problems and theories in the first place.
Does John Popper admit induction by the back door?
Popper has found few supporters for his claims; one is (Miller 1982, 2002), who has offered rebuttals to several criticisms. One group of them states that Popper admits induction by the back door in various ways; we shall note an important possible case below.

The Problem of Induction

According to a widely accepted view

Elimination of Psychologism

I said above that the work of the scientist consists in putting forward and testing theories. The initial stage, the act of conceiving or inventing a theory, seems to me neither to call for logical analysis nor to be susceptible of it. The question how it happens that a new idea occurs to a man-whether it is a musical theme, a dramatic conflict, or

Deductive Testing of Theories

According to the view that will be put forward here, the method of critically testing theories, and selecting them according to the results of tests, always proceeds on the following lines. From a new idea, put up tentatively, and not yet justified in any way-an anticipation, a hypothesis, a theoretical system, or what you will-conclusions are draw

Life

Karl Raimund Popper was born on 28 July 1902 in Vienna. His parents,who were of Jewish origin, brought him up in an atmosphere which hewas later to describe as “decidedly bookish”. His fatherwas a lawyer by profession, but he also took a keen interest in theclassics and in philosophy, and communicated to his son an interest insocial and political i...

Backdrop to Popper’s Thought

A number of biographical features may be identified as having aparticular influence upon Popper’s thought. His teenageflirtation with Marxism left him thoroughly familiar with the Marxiandialectical view of economics, class-war, and history. But he wasappalled by the failure of the democratic parties to stem the risingtide of fascism in Austria in ...

The Problem of Demarcation

For Popper the central problem in the philosophy of science is that ofdemarcation, i.e., of distinguishing between science and what he terms“non-science” (e.g., logic, metaphysics, psychoanalysis,and Adler’s individual psychology). Popper is unusual amongstcontemporary philosophers in that he acceptsthe validity ofthe Humean critique of induction, ...

Basic Statements, Falsifiability and Convention

Popper draws a clear distinction between the logic offalsifiability and its applied methodology. The logic of histheory is utterly simple: a universal statement is falsified by asingle genuine counter-instance. Methodologically, however, thesituation is complex: decisions about whether to accept an apparentlyfalsifying observation as an actual fals...

The Growth of Human Knowledge

For Popper, the growth of human knowledge proceeds from our problemsand from our attempts to solve them. These attempts involve theformulation of theories which must go beyond existing knowledge andtherefore require a leap of the imagination. For this reason, heplaces special emphasis on the role played by the creative imaginationin theory formulat...

Probability, Knowledge and Verisimilitude

In the view of many social scientists, the more probable a theory is,the better it is, and if we have to choose between twotheories which differ only in that one is probable and the other isimprobable, then we should choose the former. Popper rejects this.Science values theories with a high informative content, because theypossess a high predictive...

Objective Knowledge and The Three Worlds Ontology

Popper’s hostility to psychologistic approaches to epistemologyis evident from his earliest works. Questions relating to the originsof convictions, feelings of certainty and the like, he argues, areproperly considered the province of psychology; their attempted use inepistemology, which has been characteristic in particular of someschools of empiri...

Social and Political Thought—The Critique of Historicism and Holism

Given Popper’s personal history and background, it is hardlysurprising that he developed a deep and abiding interest in social andpolitical philosophy. He understood holism as the view that humansocial groupings are greater than the sum of their members, that theyact on their human members and shape their destinies and that they aresubject to their...

Scientific Knowledge, History, and Prediction

Historicism and holism, Popper argues, have their origins in what heterms This dream was given impetus, he suggests, by the emergence of agenuine predictive capability regarding solar and lunar eclipses at anearly stage in human civilisation, which became refined with thedevelopment of the natural sciences. Historicism derives a superficialplausibi...

Quels sont les concepts inventés par Karl Popper ?

Pour Popper, la science se doit de fonctionner de manière déductive, allant du général de la théorie au particulier du fait empirique.
. Ainsi, elle devrait procéder en trois temps : théorie, déduction de conséquences, expérience pouvant réfuter la théorie.

Qu'est-ce que la phase d'induction ?

En anesthésie, l'induction est la phase pendant laquelle commence l'endormissement.
. En génétique, l'induction est le mécanisme qui permet l'expression d'un gène.

Qu'est-ce que le critère de réfutabilité de Karl Popper ?

C'est cela le critère de réfutabilité de Popper, autrement dit la possibilité de réfuter ou non un énoncé scientifique, pour tester sa validité.
. Eh oui, parce qu'il faut avoir la possibilité de réfuter un énoncé scientifique pour que ce soit vraiment de la science selon Karl Popper.

Qu'est-ce qu'une théorie scientifique pour Popper ?

Pour Popper, la connaissance objective scientifique consiste en des modèles théoriques conjecturales avec une interprétation empirique (voir #Langage objet, métalangage et état de chose) permettant une confrontation avec l'observation.
