Karl Raimund Popper: Problem Neopositivistik dan Teori Kritis Falsifikasi
Abstract: Karl Popper once
criticizes the positivistic paradigm by means of what he calls the theory of
falsification. To him, the positivistic paradigm constitutes a failure simply
because it cannot distinguish between science and prude science, that is,
between empirical method and non-empirical method. In the scientific knowledge,
empirical science, mathematics and logic must be differentiated, something that
the positivistic paradigm has failed to do. This paradigm furthermore, did not have
a clear picture what logic-based science is, empirical knowledge and psychology
of knowledge. It also fails to properly understand knowledge that springs from
tradition, emotion, authority and so forth. All positivistic paradigms such as
that of Karl Max’s Historicism, Freud’s theory of Psycho Analysis, Adler’s
theory of Individual Analysis and Newton’s theory of Gravitation fall into this
trap of failure.
Keywords: induction,
