Conjectures and Refutations; the Growth of Scientific Knowledge.
Description
A landmark work in the philosophy of science, this collection explores how scientific knowledge advances through bold conjectures, rigorous criticism, and the continual testing of ideas. Karl Popper challenges the notion that science progresses by accumulating verified observations, arguing instead that meaningful theories must be open to refutation. Drawing on examples from science, philosophy, and intellectual history, the book examines the nature of discovery, the limits of certainty, and the role of critical debate in human understanding. Clear, provocative, and enduringly influential, it offers a powerful defense of rational inquiry and intellectual fallibility.
