Anyone have good book recommendations on the philosophy of science?

His account of how science works was totally untenable and uninformed by scientific practice. Most philosophers I know (including myself) who invested in studying his sophistry feel that their time was wasted.
Nice short lecture by Lakatos (one of Popper's students) which mentions some basic problems with the falsifiability criterion:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FzaQS4noAA …

Just learned about this! Made total sense to me. But have never had anyone mention to me in 10 years of edu in psych that this was a problem.

The Ketelaar/Ellis 2000 paper on unfalsifiable evolutionary explanations might be of interest to you. Really nice paper imo

Thanks! Ill check it out

This is all very interesting to me, I'm out of my league here & haven't read his stuff but
@DavidDeutschOxf, who I'm a big fan of, has always championed Popper so I figured he should be pretty legit
