What is the difference between critical rationalism and skeptical empiricism?
Dear Alexander Ohnemus
Critical rationalism focuses on the importance of criticism and falsifiability in the scientific method, with an emphasis on the impossibility of proving theories true.
Skeptical empiricism, on the other hand, questions the reliability of empirical observation and induction as a foundation for certain knowledge, highlighting the limitations of human cognition.
While both approaches are critical of certain aspects of traditional empiricism, they differ in their emphasis and specific concerns within the broader realm of epistemology.
I hope this helps.
I wasn't sure so I looked it up:

Now I'll read what has been written above,. I'll return and look later!
