Episode 68 - Comparing philosophies: critical rationalism vs empiricism vs pseudoscience

Pseudoscience / irrationality Making claims about truths based on appealing to some "preferably selected" authority Foundationalism and justified Empiricism Making claims about truths based on empirical evidence. The evidence "contains" the knowledge. The authority becomes: the senses and the “information” that is given to us by the senses Foundationalism and justified Critical rationalism All claims about truth are fallible, human guesses (‘conjectures”) But they can be improved No foundations and no justification, but error correction
