James Blachowicz, professor emeritus of philosophy with a focus on the philosophy of science according to his Loyola page wrote "Of Two Minds: The Nature of Inquiry". I found 51 references to Popper searching the book on Amazon. I'm not a philosophy expert, but based on this article and wikipedia information about Popper and falsifiability, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest this guy actually knows what he's talking about and perhaps some of the commenters here aren't up to date on the science of philosophy issues he is addressing.
- twblalock 10y agoIt's amazing how many people here think that philosophy of science ended with Karl Popper.
- cassowary 10y agoKarl Popper or Carl Sagan? I actually don't know the latter's views very well, but I very much get the impression that he popularised a Popperian view of science in a way that Saganites simply can't get past. A lot of people who think themself scientific and modern independent thinkers simply regurgitate what they learnt from scientific and modern independent thinkers.
