Popper on science and religion
Abstract
In this paper, it is argued for that Karl Popper’s stance on the relation between empirical science and religious beliefs, although falls into the independence theories, can be developed until it fits with the dialogue theories. In this sense, Popper’s stance overcomes Stephen J. Gould’s one, which is better known. Gould supports scientism, while Popper sees science (and perhaps religion) as realms that are rational insofar as they are subject to criticism.
