Segun ki Popper, an teorya sa empirical sciences dai nanggad mapapatunayan, alagad pwede iyan na ma-falsify, boot sabihon na pwede iyan na (asin dapat na) be scrutinised na may decisive experiments. Kontra si Popper sa klasikong justificationist account kan kaaraman, na rinibayan niya nin critical rationalism, nginaran na "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy".
