This article comments on the Positivist Dispute from the point of view of Critical Rationalism. It shows that the basic arguments of the Frankfurt School against the position of Popper and his followers are based on misunderstandings or fail due to logical or epistemological errors. It confirms the positions of Critical Rationalism about the fallibility of reasoning and the requirements for a desirable social order
