|Brief=an Austrian-British philosopher who is generally regarded as one of the greatest most influential philosophers of science of the 20th century
|Summary=Karl Popper's most important epistemological works were [[Popper (1959)|''The Logic of Scientific Discovery'']][[CiteRef::Popper (1959)]], which was originally published in German as ''Logic der Forschung'' in 1935, and [[Popper (1963)|''Conjectures and Refutations'']][[CiteRef::Popper (1963)]] published in 1963.[[CiteRef::Thornton (2016)]] His work had three main objectives:
* To solve Hume's problem of induction as a limitation on human knowledge
Popper’s critical rationalism can be seen as a watershed of philosophical thought on the limits of empiricism, rationalism, and positivism, and an opening of the flood-gates for questioning and contemplation within nearly every branch of philosophy.
