Abstract

The problem that troubled most of philosophers of science today, after the rise of the new logic, is that of observation. Since science discusses not observations but observation reports, this raises the question, how do we verbalize what we observe? This question is very troublesome. It invites scientific theories of observation and of language yet as it is at the basis of science it should precede science (Popper 1935, §25).
