FALSIFICATION

THEORY
• As long as an ideology is not proven to be false and can best
explain a phenomenon over alternative theories, we should
accept the said ideology.

• Allowed emergence of theories otherwise rejected by the

verification theory.

• Encourages research in order to determine which among the

theories can stand the test of falsification.
 KARL POPPER

• known proponent of this view.

• He was notorious for stating that up-and-

coming theories of the time.
Science as a Social
Endeavor
• A new school of thought on the proper demarcation criterion of
science emerged.

• Explores the social dimension of science and effectively,

technology.

• Science cease to belong solely to gown wearing, besfectacled

scientist at laboratories.

• The new view perpetuates a dimension which generally benefits

the society.
Science and Results
• People who do not understand science are won over when the discipline is able
to produce results.

• In this particular argument, however, science is not the only discipline which is
able to produce results--- religion, luck, and human randomness are some of its
contemporaries in the field.

• For some communities without access to science, they can turn to divination
and superstition and still get the same results.

• Science is not entirely foolproof, such that it is correct 100% of the time.
Science as Education
• In the Philippines, a large distribution of science high schools can be found,
forging competition for aspiring students to undergo rigorous science and
mathematics training based on specialized curricula.

• As students are preconditioned that the field would later land them high-
paying jobs and a lucrative career after graduation.

• Simply mastering science and technology would be inadequate if we are to,

say, socialize with people or ruminate on our inner self.

• A true eudaimonia recognizes that flourishing requires one to excel in

various dimensions, such as linguistic, kinetic, artistic and socio-civic.
