The purpose of this study is to better understand Popper's method of falsifiability, based upon Logical Positivists and their methods- Popper was one of them for a period. It aims to examine the inductive method, which is one of the main reasons for Popper's criticism of positivists and the deductive method brought by Popper. Karl Popper (1902-1994) was considered one of the most important science philosophers of the 20th century, made significant contributions to the philo-sophy of science and society. Some of science philosophers supported Popper’s theories, at the same time some of them criticized them fiercely. Despite all, it has attracted the attention of many people in the world of science and philosophy. In our study, we will examine the development pro-cess of logical positivism, which is one of the important movement of thought in that era, and reveal efforts to separate science from metaphysics. We will also examine the logical evidence that Popper brought to the verificationism and try to contribute to the falsification principle that he put forward.
