... truth.2
Popper later changed his mind about Kuhn being relativistic; see [Pop94, p. 62, footnote 19].

... ``interesting''3
To be precise, for any theory including first-order arithmetic and strong enough to encode all effectively computable functions.

In the full paper, there will be a proof of the theorem and a discussion of the proof.

... out,5
Except for this one difference, i.e., Popper's claim that the incommensurability of paradigms implies relativity.

...[Fey75].6
This is the only work of Feyerabend that I have read on this subject. I understand that in other works Feyerabend did not make such a strong claim.

... method.7
If there can be no sound and complete description of a scientific method, perhaps ``method'' is the wrong word: perhaps we should be speaking of a scientific approach.

... involved.8
Ayala and Black [] argue from the position of Popper that the courts should pay attention to refereed scientific journals.

... question.9
Of course, it is a necessary part of this idea that the refereeing process is independent of considerations from outside science, such as financial interest.

... science.10
I am thus dividing science in something of the way Hilbert divided mathematics into its real and ideal parts.
