Conjectures and Refutations (book)

"Conjectures and Refutations" by philosopher Karl Popper explores how scientific knowledge advances. It emphasizes that science progresses through proposing bold ideas (conjectures) and rigorously testing them. When these ideas are challenged and found incorrect (refuted), our understanding improves. Rather than seeking absolute truths, science is a dynamic process of proposing hypotheses and discarding those that don't hold up. The book highlights the importance of critical testing and falsifiability in distinguishing scientific theories from non-scientific ones, fostering an ongoing pursuit of more reliable knowledge.
