This book discusses the main issues in Popper's theory of science and, after giving a careful characterization of each issue, examines the main objections that have been raised against them and offers ways of circumventing them. It demonstrates that Popper's theory can guide us again to a better understanding of the aim and the structure of science.Continuum studies in philosophy.ScienceMethodologyProbabilitiesElectronic books.ScienceMethodology.Probabilities.50108.35bclGarcía Carlos E902623MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458141003321Popper's theory of science2017792UNINA
