Extract

Finally, I would like to conclude that, despite my critical remarks, work of Godfrey-Smith once more prove that Popper’s thoughts could be criticized. Here I would even refer to the anecdote where one scientist questioned Karl Popper “if he had applied his theories to his own work”.[1] Nevertheless, I agree with Popper that good or great scientist is creative on one hand and critical on the other hand, and I hope this will create such scientists also among us – university students.
