Abstract

This article dives into the origins of the philosophy of science of Karl Popper. Where does Popper’s epistemological position take root around the two fundamental problems of the theory of science? This is the main question. This research brings to light really amazing results, some of which may lead to cast doubt on the soundness of the basic Popperian approaches. But it is no less surprising, if at all, that with so little Popper could get so much. Popper’s case is an excellent example of how some ideas that some might consider pinned up, can penetrate deeply if, besides being interesting, they are defended with conviction and intelligence and at least a part of the intellectual environment contributes to their discussion, assimilation and development.
