So, Is Knowledge Hypothetical After All?

Conclusion

Human knowledge is based on theories which work and not on the real thing. It is obvious that many scientists have a very misleading approach to science and such an approach can only serve to distance humankind from truth. In essence, Popper’s epistemology merits a place amongst the great philosophers.

“We are denied of true knowledge. Our knowledge consists of critical guesswork; a network of hypothesis; a web of assumptions.”

- Karl Popper, 1989 (S.XXV)
