They speak about James\u2019 most recent article \u2018Education for science and democracy\u2019 &amp;nbsp;(https:\/\/www.elgaronline.com\/downloadpdf\/edcollchap\/book\/9781802208542\/book-part-9781802208542-7.pdf), as well as falsification as a criterion of empirical science, how universal statements are falsifiable but existential ones aren't, how Popper later moved away from this strictly logical idea to place more emphasis on degrees of falsifiability and on fallibilism as an attitude or social practice, and the challenges of institutionalising these ideas within science, society and curricula.
