😵‍💫 Critical Rationalism: One of the Major Theories #additional

Karl Popper's Falsifiability Theory (Critical Rationalism) is the main killer of all the psychological hypotheses, because it claims that a theory cannot be entirely proven true, but can be proven false by particular experiments.

For instance, the statement "All swans are white" is falsifiable, because a person can find black swan to prove it wrong. Instead, we can say the vast majority of swans are white and it would be true by empiricism.

The main reason why the promoted approach has been noticed by many scientists is a possibility to consider psychological theories, like of Freud's one. Because if the established statement cannot be proven true or false, it is the pseudo-science or non-science statement. Furthermore, it contributed to religious and abstract arguments to be classified as something out of science.

Karl Popper helped deny the approach of Inductivism and state that science is developing by theories, that are being questioned afterwards, not accumulating and endorsing the exceptional facts which construct universal laws then.
