|
| Cioffi moved from an early fascination with Popper's falsifiability test for distinguishing science from pseudo-science to a view that criticisms of Freud as a defective scientist were misguided. |
|
| Popper's account of the logical asymmetry between verification and falsifiability lies at the heart of his philosophy of science. |
|
| Popper's principle of falsifiability runs into prima facie difficulties when the epistemological status of mathematics is considered. |
|
| According to Popper, such pseudosciences as astrology, metaphysics, Marxist history, and Freudian psychoanalysis are not empirical sciences, because of their failure to adhere to the principle of falsifiability. |
|
| These ideas have many virtues, but falsifiability is not one of them. |
|
| Falsifiability may not even be necessary for science, or at least not be necessary for the search for possible truths. |
