    The Logic of Scientific Discovery

    Written by Karl Popper

    Narrated by David Pickering

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the “demarcation problem,” or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability – that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation – against the prevailing views of his day. Now widely considered among the most important books in the history of philosophy of science, The Logic of Scientific Discovery remains essential reading for scholars, scientists, and anyone interested in what makes science, science.

    This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
