Popper on Science Pseudoscience and Induction

This covers Karl Popper’s 1953 paper “Science Conjectures and Refutations.”. I also introduce some of Popper’s politic because he sees the two as connected. The issues discussed here are how we are to distinguish between genuine and pseudoscience as well as the so called problem of induction and how we are justified in believing scientific theories. Intermediate difficulty.
