Popper's

The distinction between science and non-science is central to understanding scientific inquiry. Scientific theories are characterized by their falsifiability, meaning they can be tested and potentially proven wrong.

Popper's

Popper's demarcation of:

e.g.: devoted scientists: Kepler, Einstein

never satisfied with own results

e.g.: Marxism, Adler's/Freud's psychoanalysis

its results: regarded as approximations

can be falsifiable

takes the risk of clashing with reality

consists of: bold (daring, unacceptable) conjecture

Science

based on truthfulness

looks for confirmation not falsification

immunized against criticism

observation, hypothesis, testing

Non-science or Pseudo-science
