Episode 64: What is a "Refutation"?

from The Theory of Anything · host Bruce Nielson and Peter Johansen

What did Karl Popper really mean by refutation? How are empirical theories special? How do objective criticisms differ from subjective criticisms? What is the difference between a theory and an explanation? We consider these questions with a tangent into the theory that animals don’t have feelings.
