عنوان مقاله [English]
In history of ideas, although traditional rationalists used reason and
reasoning to justify any claim (hypothesis, theory, and…), Popper and
his pupils, as critical rationalists, emphasis on falsifying any. Critical
rationalists believe that human knowledge is fallible; and this
knowledge not only can’t fulfill any justification, but also need to no
one. For human knowledge is fallible and confined, critical rationalists
relay on rationality to the extent that it help us to detect our errors and
failures. According to critical rationalists, critical method is merely to
criticize all of ideas, beliefs, and etc. unstoppably in order to reveal the
probable, tacit faults. Scientific theories, in their view, are daring
conjectures which come from encountering with problems; these
conjectures are not justifiable and must be falsifiable (and therefore
refutable) through severe test. The refutation to old theory is the
paramount process of scientific discovery. If any new theory survive
more of such refutations, it would have a higher verisimilitude and
therefore, critical rationalists suggest that it is closer to truth. So critical
rationalists have exposed some innovations in philosophy of science,
but there are a few critiques which they are (or should be) going to deal
with.
