Multicriterial Approach:
Social Context and Credibility:
Logical Positivism and Critical Rationalism:
Testability and Reproducibility:
The demarcation of science from non-science involves multiple criteria, including epistemic-warrant and territorial considerations, social context and credibility, logical positivism and critical rationalism, and the fundamental principles of testability and reproducibility. These diverse approaches highlight the complexity and multifaceted nature of the demarcation problem.
