Description
Summary:“[To bring] …︁ the essence of the world …︁ [in each possible relation and from each point of view] to the clear and perception of reason”. This is, according to Arthur Schopenhauer, the assignment of philosophy, and in Wallau's interpretation, exactly this is accomplished by the logic of science established by Karl Popper for the field of empirical science. Therefore, its rejection by Jerome Berson in his essay “Kekulé Escapes, Popper Notwithstanding” is unfounded. This is a claim that Berson refutes in his reply.
