Falsifiability
and Neti Neti
In the field
of the Science of Philosophy, Karl Popper proposed the theory of
Falsifiability. Basically one comes to scientific truths , when theories are
proven false, and whatever survives the false theories is taken to be the
scientific truth. This is the method of evolution of scientific facts.
This reminds me of the “Neti Neti” method of getting to the subjective from the objective via negating what is being observed, as the “Not I” to what is remaining as the Ï”or Self , which is clearly mapped out in the Advaitic Vedantic text: “Drg Drsya Viveka”. The text title is loosely translated as illumination by: neti neti of Drsya(what is observed) by the the Drg-the witnessing I/seer .
