عنوان مقاله [English]
It is a simple, though ancient, mistake in the theory of
knowledge to think that justification, in any degree, is central to
rationality, or even important to it. We must cut for ever the intellectual
apron strings that continue to offer us spurious and unneeded security, and
replace the insoluble problem of what our theories are based on by the
soluble problem of how to expose their shortcomings. The paper will
outline (not for the first time) the critical rationalism of Karl Popper,
taking account of some recent criticisms. A brief discussion of the status
of the laws of logic provides an illustration of the power of the critical
approach.
