Hi Lee, I think Popper and his students became very unpopular during the 1960s and 1970s in Philosophy itself. His students weren't able to find jobs at...
I find that CR is passed over because the destruction of induction was never completed by Popper. Popper's arguments against induction were weak and I even...
