Abstract

This Chapter is divided into three parts. In 4.1. I will establish a common ground of comparison between Kant’s and Popper’s theories of scientific knowledge, by showing how close their respective empiricisms are. In 4.2. I will reconstruct Kant’s problem of scientific knowledge and his solution of it. In 4.3. Kant’s problem and solution will be compared with their Popperian counterparts.
