التفكير الناقد وأبستمولوجيا التكذيب

Abstract EN

Karl Popper holds that falsification is the only correct way to develop knowledge.

that is, knowledge grows (or develops) within Karl popper's falsification epistemology through conjectural refutation-criticizing and falsifying existing theories.

understanding such issues is clearly linked to critical thinking, which aims to analyze and evaluate beliefs to distinguish what is acceptable and unacceptable according to pure mental criteria.

here, the following main question arises: can Karl popper's criterion of falsibility be one of the criteria that helps to develop critical thinking and distinguish correct beliefs from those incorrect beliefs? by examining Karl popper's epistemology of falsification within the framework of his critical rationality, it became clear that Karl popper’s standard of falsification can be used as an aid in critical thinking, by resisting assumptions that work against criticism itself in addition to applying the strategy of bias towards uncertainty, and then the critical mindset is developed for critical thinkers through perceiving the difference between so-called building a case and weighing evidence supporting or opposing an argument.
