In this workshop, we shall briefly review the origin of philosophy of science
in the beginning of the 20th century. We then move to Popper’s early
understanding of science and his differences with Logical Positivism of Vienna
Circle. We then address some main issues in Popper’s philosophy such as
Problem of Induction, Problem of Demarcation between Science and Metaphysics,
Falsificationism, Methodology of Science, Scientific Realism and the aim of
Science and Verisimilitude. Hopefully, we shall also focus on some of the ideas’
of Popper’s critics. (The Workshop is in Farsi).
