To what extent is the definition of falsifiability subject to scientific discovery? What is the point of demarcating science from pseudo-science if not safeguarding both against the critique from one other? Does this contribute to the divorce between arts and science, or does it enable scientific method to invade the area which it fails to govern?
"Our science is not knowledge(epistēmē): it can never claim to have attained truth...the striving for knowledge and the search for truth are still the strongest motives of scientific discovery" 这书结尾莫名感动，人类就是在感受，经历和总结中寻求真理，纵然永远无法达到纯粹的知识，还是披荆斩棘，不断前行。
Science pursues the illusory aim of making its answers final. Its advance is, rather, toward discovering new, deeper, and more general problems, and of subjecting our ever tentative answers to ever renewed and more rigorous tests.

我心中的神作，不可动摇，后人的批评也改变不了这一点

The idea of "falsifiability" came from this book in philosophy of science

这本书的核心观点是：可证伪性是科学和非科学的分界（demarcation）。本书行文非常繁琐，而且定义很随意，想起一个观点就来一个定义。饶是我花了很大精力，以极慢的速度，一遍将它读明白（附录以逻辑证明为主的部分跳过），最后还是觉得这时间花得不太值得。作者可能自己觉得很有意思吧。在现代科学下，哲学真没啥地位了。作者花了不少精力来谈思维实验突破不确定性原理，以及他对EPR的认识，但都是错误的。哲学家来谈量子物理，基本是不自量力。

Science always attempts to be disconfirmed/ falsified while pseudoscience struggles to be confirmed.

时间和行文技术性的关系没有通篇细读，但我想这本书动人之处有二。一是可证伪性概念的提出如此贴切而激进地与二十世纪初的各项科学革命呼应，这是一位哲学家对其时代的感知与思想交代；二是，波普尔在一战后至二战结束前构想的这套科学、历史、政治哲学是如此的自成一体、相互勾连，它们来自于一种完整的智识理想和追寻，既对知识的未来保持乐观，又对当时的现实危机有绝对的警醒。这无论如何都令人肃然起敬，也让任何后世的质疑和推翻变得微不足道，毕竟他自己的科学哲学就是向证伪开放的，也让我明白他对一些学术前辈为何如此重要。

第四本专业读物：Popper为了证明伪证对于科学的意义也是用力过猛，搬出了概率论和量子力学，当然他也真是博学多识。对于这本书里程碑式的意义不必赘述，除了核心思想外我只吸收了50%的养分。如果时间够长，值得细读。

science is a system of statements rather than concepts

波普尔作为一名科学主义者，却并不是一个“科学至上论”或“唯科学主义”的鼓吹者。他的理论，让我时刻清醒的认识到，科学知识并非人类唯一的智性事业。我认为这本书应该是理工科研究生的必读书籍。
