The FIrst Look into Falsification
Karl Popper published his first major philosophy of science book back in 1935. The title of the book is "Logik der Forschung." It was later translated into English in 1959. The title for the book in English changed to "The Logic of Scientific Discovery." With this book came the first look into Karl Popper's ideology of Falsification and his explanation of how it works.

Paying it Forward
Karl Popper started teaching at Canterbury University College in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1937. His work here would eventually lead to his articles that make up "The Poverty of Historicism," in 1957. These articles focused on his analysis of the methodology in social sciences. He taught here until the start of World War II, in which would led him to teaching at London School of Economics in 1946. (1. Shea) -
Further Advancements
Karl Popper published many books throughout his life. One of those books is "Conjectures and Refutations," and was published in 1963. For this publication he combines truth and content to make truthlikeness (aka, Verisimilitude). This in turn made truth-content and falsity-content. These were used to compare theories on a quantitative and qualitative scale. Attached is a video that has a political excerpt from the book. (2. Thornton)
