Abstract
This is a philosophical lecture with some logical additives. The aim is to consider the rival attractions of verification, or proof, or justification (total or partial) on the one side, and falsification or (more generally) criticism on the other. Old arguments will be deployed to reach the conclusion that all worthwhile uses of arguments are critical, rather than constructive, or exploratory, or persuasive.
The critical approach draws attention to unfamiliar epistemological problems, in particular the problem of overpopulation. Everyone, verificationist or falsificationist, is exposed to this problem, but so far it resists solution.
