Abstract

In the paper the author specifies the place of Popper’s philosophy of science in contemporary bourgeois philosophy, he analyses critically Popper’s conception of scientific truth, his solution of problems of development of scientific knowledge and problems of explanation and prediction in history. He shows that Popper has neither a real concept of objective truth nor a real concept of evolutionary law. Popper’s “evolutionary scheme“ makes absolute one of the moments of reproduction cycle of scientific knowledge and his explanatory model is only the last step in more complicated explanatory procedures.
