|Summary=Karl Popper’s epistemological theories on the logic of scientific discovery were his proposal for what constituted a good scientific method. Popper’s early work centered on three objectives:
# solving to solve Hume’s problem concerning inductive reasoning;
# to objectively evaluate theories, separately from direct testing (due to criticism based on the Duhem-Quine thesis);
# to formulate a critical method for scientific change, consisting of a cycle of conjectures, refutations, and corrections for falsified theories.
