14. Science / A. Basis of Science / 6. Falsification

5629	If a proposition implies any false consequences, then it is false [Kant]
	Full Idea: If only a single false consequence can be derived from a proposition, then this proposition is false.
	From: Immanuel Kant (Critique of Pure Reason [1781], B819/A791)
	A reaction: Seems right. Of course, it might imply entirely true consequences, and still be false. This idea has to be one of the foundations (sic) of coherentism about truth and justification.
