Karl Popper made major contributions to the philosophy of science including noting the political basis of Plato's ontology and proposing falsification as the only basis of truth in perception: a fact is an assertion that can be conceivably subject to a future disproof.

See neoclassical philosophy for a deeper discussion of the implications.
