The Logic of Scientific Discovery is a 1934 book by Karl Popper. It was originally written in German and titled Logik der Forschung. Then Popper reformulated his book in English and republished it in 1959. This forms the rare case of a major work to appear in two languages, both written and one translated by the author instead of being translated by another person. Sir Peter Medawar called it "one of the most important documents of the twentieth century." In it, Popper argued that science should adopt a methodology based on falsifiability, because no number of experiments can ever prove a theory, but a single experiment can contradict one. Popper holds that empirical theories are characterized by falsifiability.Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of `great originality and power`, this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now legendary doctrine of `falsificationism` electrified the scientific community, influencing even working scientists, as well as post-war philosophy. This astonishing work ranks alongside The Open Society and Its Enemies as one of Popper`s most enduring books and contains insights and arguments that demand to be read to this day.
