Title: Popper and Wittgenstein


1
Popper and Wittgenstein
  • the so-called principle of verification

2
Popper
  • The criterion of falsifiability.Differentiate
    between a scientific theory it offers to the
    risk of refutation and an unscientific theory
    that escapes it.

3
Current neutrinos of the LHC.
  • For example. The theory of relativity is offered
    to the risk of refutation. The speed of light is
    the maximum possible speed. That's why the
    scientific world has been put into turmoil by the
    CERN Neutrinos.
  • In a sense Popper is right no scientific theory
    is definitely true. It is reliable because it has
    resisted attempts to refute

Wittgenstein -Popper
  • But according to the theory of the representation
    of Wittgenstein. As you can tell that if I have a
    table in front of brown and say "this table is
    brown" I do a check?.
  • In any case, the criterion of falsification
    falsified theories are no longer considered
    usable. So who is forced to remove the concept of
    probability. Because the concept of probability
    must assume the existence of thruth. But in this
    way seems to go down the idea of ?progress.

likely
  • For Popper, we can not now say that Einstein's
    theory is more likely than Newton or more real
    fact Both are false. Moreover, the truth is
    infinite. So 1 infinity infinity just like
    1000 infinity infinity.

6
progress
  • For Popper, you can not even speak of progress,
    since all theories giving false and falsified the
    truth has never been touched by them. This means
    that we must have a concept of limited and not
    infinite truth. Otherwise, progress could be seen
    as a departure from the origin.A journey implies
    a departure and an arrival. For Popper, we know
    only the start and progress is only a step away
    from starting.
