Karl Popper 1902-1994
In “ The Trivialization of Mathematical Logic” Popper criticizes mathematics and brings forth some of the flaws of following math without question.

Karl Popper 1902-1994
In “A Note on Tarski’s Definition of Truth” Popper critiques Tarki’s attempt to define truth using mathematics. Popper argues that to define truth, it is not always necessary to have an infinite number of situations where a certain variable always stands true, since most times proving an infinite number of situations brings a lot of complications.
