Table of contents or introduction
In this thesis with the topic “Hypothetics of Scientific Knowledge” I would like to go into the main epistemological work “Logic of Research” by Karl Popper (1935). In his main work he takes the view that one should use the method of falsification in science. This statement piqued my interest because science is more likely to theorize by induction than by falsification.
Karl Popper’s statement: “There is progress in knowledge, but one never arrives at absolute truth”, in his text “the problem of delimitation” (1974) and because he basically questions the process of science through induction the question of this work: “Can one arrive at the absolute truth?”. Above all, however, the question “Is it possible to distinguish between what is true and what is false?” Arose when one referred to Karl Popper’s principle in his work “The Logic of Research”.
