Popper's Methodology

In place of induction, Popper gives a method of conjectures and overthrow. scientific hypotheses are proposed as a bold hypothesis (assumptions) about the nature of the world. To verify these hypotheses through empirical experience, we can not give a positive induction suggests that they are true. But we can give no reason to believe that they are false. So to see how it works, look at the picture of reasoning employed in the research induction hypothesis, on the one hand, and the method of "deductivist" Poppers conjecture and rejection, on the other side (Niemann, 2004, 23).

First, the design of the experiment, we determine what we should expect to observe if the hypothesis is true. Using induction, if our observation is consistent with our expectations, we accept the hypothesis to be confirmed inductively. Painting of reasoning is as follows:

If H, O

O.

Thus, H

This method of reasoning is not deductively valid (to generate a counter-example) and the inductive argument that has to deal with the problem of induction. So this is an example of the arguments they are unable to provide us with a rational basis for making H, as the truth. But suppose that when we experience, we are witnessing is not O '. In this case, our model of reasoning is as follows

If H, O

Not O.

Therefore, no H

This model of reasoning is deductively valid (see it try to assume that the premises are true and the conclusion is false. If the claim was false, then the "H" is true. And, because this is the first true condition, "O" will be. But "O" in contrast to "Oh no," which claims the second condition. So it is not possible in the premises as true and the conclusion is false. In other words, the nature of the arguments are deductively valid.) (Notturno, 1985, 22-29)

After the reasoning model used in the method of conjectures and overthrow. This is a deductively valid sample that does not use inductive confirmation. It should now be clear how Popper's conjecture and reject works and empirical studies, such as using this method can give us knowledge about the world, avoiding the problem of induction.

According to Popper, there is no rational logic and methodology for assessing how scientists have come up with hypotheses. This is just conjecture. And there is no evidence to support the induction hypothesis gives us a sense of positive reasons to believe ...
