Listen "Episode 68 - Comparing philosophies: critical rationalism vs empiricism vs pseudoscience"
Episode Synopsis
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
