Karl Popper is regarded as one of the best philosophers of the 20th century and a self-professed rationalist. He was alive during the time of Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. His theory of falsifiability developed from his Ph.D. in music history. He tried distinguishing the relationship of objectivity and subjectivity in music through how historians critically thought when recording music theory and development. -
