Abstract

In this article, the author proposes a re-interpretation of Popperian controversies regarding criteria of scientificity, re-examining what drove Popper to reduce the sciences to their experimental branch. The article retraces 50 years of debates, which have weakened the Popperian position, despite the continued reference made to it in popular opinion. Given the wide acceptance of the idea that a plurality of scientific regimes exists, nothing – except resistance grounded in an imaginary ideal of a unitary “Science” – should stop psychoanalysts from reinvigorating their scientific tradition in the name of the clinical reality for which they are responsible.
