Carl John (Karl Raimund Popper) is the West's greatest scientific philosopher in 20th century and one of the founders of critical rationalism. He mainly aimed at logic of empirical evidence philosophy and established systematic scientific outlook focusing on " Evidence-false", including resource and nature of scientific theories, scientific and non-scientific criteria for the demarcation, the showing of scientific advancement, scientific exploration methods and model for scientific advancement and so on .The Popper scientific outlook has distinctive character and has great influence on the late scientific philosophy development.Meanwhile, it supplies valuable material for deepening scientific knowledge and controlling right scientific methods.The full text is divided into four parts:The first part is the Popper scientific outlook forming social background. This part is analyzing social background of the Popper scientific outlook forming: First, his live "free" social atmosphere, the Austria after bourgeois revolution, the more "open" British society;Second, the rapid development of the natural sciences in the late 19th century and early 20th century, physical, chemical and information theory providing scientific and cultural conditions for the formation of new scientific results for its;Third, in philosophy logic evidence increasingly deepen into their own internal contradictions, into difficulties, but also the need for a new theory to replace. All these have created a pioneering scientific outlook.The second part is theoretical concept of John scientific perspective. In this part, I summarize on the ground of Popper books the following five areas: First, scientific theories have created from inspiration, Second, its nature is speculation;Third Scientific and non-scientific criteria for the demarcation can evidence false;Scientific progress will depend on the theory of Evidence false degrees and confirmation degrees;Fourth, Trial and error is a scientific research methods;Fifth, "four-style" science is the development model.The third part is several issues on which the scientific concept worth about. I mainly analyze the one-sided and wrong points from fourth aspects: Are scientific theories suspect or objective reflection? Is there any scientific and non-scientific demarcation of boundaries and absolute standards? Is trial and error the only way to scientific exploration and other methods are undesirable? Is scientific development a simple denial or does quantitative and qualitative change reunification? In this part, I will mainly pronounce and analyze the one-side and wrong of the science views of Raimund Popper.The fourth part is the analysis of John scientific outlook' reasonable factors and reveal their inspiration. In this part, I analyze the reasonable factors of John scientific outlook ofinspiration to us. First, Popper think scientific theory have the character of Evidence false, Second scientific theory is in progress through denials;Third, constant model for scientific development. Controlling John scientific outlook' reasonable factor has great influence on constructing right scientific outlook and deepening understanding of scientific nature and law.In short, Popper scientific outlook is the creation of his social conditions. Although his scientific outlook has the one-sided and wrong points on the problems of creation and essence of scientific theory, we can find the essence of it is idealism, dogma, but also contain many reasonable factors and has distinctive character. These factors have great influence on constructing right Marxist scientific outlook.
