This video explores how the philosophy of science is struggling with deep epistemic difficulties and how “postmodernism” in the philosophy of science was a reaction against Marxist ideas. Popper’s falsification theory, the ideas of Imre Lakatos, and the need to understand Marxist ideas and the left generally in terms of a long term struggle to realize the values of the Enlightenment are all covered.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
