Review of the German edition:
'"Andersson's book provides the first major improvement of falsificationist methodology" since the 30s.'
Gerard Radnitzky, "British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1991.
'..".will be welcomed by all non-German-reading philosophers of science...This book is a very agreeable; its tone is low-key and patient, even thought its critical thrusts are lethal.'
I.C. Jarvie.

Product Description
This text deals with Thomas Kuhn's, Imre Lakatos's and Paul Feyerabend's criticism of Karl Popper's falsificationist conception of science. It argues that this criticism is based on two important methodological problems: the problem that observations and test statements are fallible and impregnated with theory, and the problem of how to test complex theoretical systems. In order to solve these problems it shows how problematic test statements can be criticized and whole theoretical systems falsified. In this way the falsificationist conception of science is developed and defended in a way that makes a deeper understanding of science and its history possible.
