À propos de cet audio
Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the “demarcation problem,” or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability – that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation – against the prevailing views of his day. Now widely considered among the most important books in the history of philosophy of science, The Logic of Scientific Discovery remains essential listening for scholars, scientists, and anyone interested in what makes science, science.
This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Seismic influence with much drivel
T mhe back half is absolute dog shit. Once you reach the chapter on probability, just put it down. That aside, it’s a compelling and genuinely persuasive book.
Popper delivers a powerful and seminal argument for falsifiability as the demarcation criterion that separates science from non-science. A theory is scientific if it can in principle be empirically falsified, even if no one has falsified it yet. While today this may sound like common sense, it marked a radical shift in 20th-century philosophy of science and helped shape the epistemological foundation of nearly all interesting disciplines.
It’s striking how ideas we now take for granted (short, clean, practical) had to be invented somewhere. And yet, when you go back to their origins, they often come bloated with digressions, unnecessary hairsplitting, and attacks on now-forgotten philosophical opponents. The core insights here are seismic—uncontroversially foundational to modern science as we understand it—but there’s also a maddening amount of detritus you’ll want to skim or skip altogether.
