The ideas that I develop in what follows are derived from the work of the Israeli historian and philosopher of science, Menachem Fisch. Trained in physics, philosophy, and the history and philosophy of science, Fisch has argued for a contemporary philosophy of science that steers a course between the Scylla of uncritical dogmatism and the Charybdis of radical relativism.
His approach is influenced by Karl Popper’s “critical rationalism,” the contention that scientific knowledge grows not by accumulating supporting evidence but by subjecting our beliefs to the staunchest criticism we can gather. Although Popper himself dismissed psychoanalysis as a “pseudoscience” because he believed its propositions could not be “falsified,” that is empirically tested and challenged, I will argue that, ironically, the post-Popperian approach articulated and applied by Fisch befits the current challenges of psychoanalysis.
