Preferred term

critical rationalism  

Definition(s)

  • Critical rationalism is a term sometimes used to refer to Karl Popper's philosophical system, or a large part thereof. But it more precisely refers to a critical attitude that Popper advocated, and derivatively to the claim that we ought to adopt this attitude (in a significant class of contexts, e.g., when doing science). [Source: Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Social Sciences; Critical Rationalism]
