Question

This concept is preferred to alternatives based on tenacity, a priori, and authority in C. S. Peirce's ("purse's") essay "The Fixation of Belief." This concept titles a 1975 book in which the slogan "anything goes" is used to advocate for "epistemological anarchism." Paul Feyerabend titled a book Against this concept, which was first developed in a book describing four fallacies called "idols" of locations like "the (*) marketplace" and "the cave." Verifiability is rejected as a standard for this process by Karl Popper, a proponent of falsifiability. An inductivist form of this process was formalized in the book Novum Organum by Francis Bacon. For 10 points, name this process of developing and experimentally testing hypotheses. ■END■
