The statue of William the Conqueror is located in his birthplace, Falaise, Calvados, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) southeast of Caen, France.[1] It depicts William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy and King of England, on a horse, and is surrounded by statues of his six ducal predecessors. It is the work of the French sculptor Louis Rochet [fr].[1]

Description

The monument is a bronze statue on a granite pedestal. Surrounding the pedestal are six other statues representing the first six dukes of Normandy: Rollo, William I, Richard I, Richard II, Richard III, and Robert I. There is also a commemorative plaque.

William carries a gonfalon (banner) donated by Pope Alexander II.[1] The sculptor, in order to make the work appear realistic, based his design on the Bayeux tapestry.[1]

Created with the help of a national subscription, it was unveiled on October 26, 1851. The six other statues are a later addition of September 19, 1875.[1]

Réfutabilité

La réfutabilité (également désignée par le recours à l'anglicisme falsifiabilité[n 1]) a été introduite par Karl Popper et est considérée comme un concept important de l'épistémologie, permettant d'établir une démarcation entre les théories scientifiques et celles qui ne le sont pas. Une affirmation, une hypothèse, est dite réfutable si et seulement si elle peut être logiquement contredite par un test empirique ou, plus précisément, si et seulement si un énoncé d'observ...
