Description: Refined Verisimilitude by S.D. Zwart Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The subject of the present inquiry is the approach-to-the-truth research, which started with the publication of Sir Karl Poppers Conjectures and Refutations. Abhorring inductivism for its apprecia tion of logical weakness rather than strength, Popper tried to show that fallibilism could serve the purpose of approach to the truth. Publisher Description This monograph gives an independent and self-contained introduction to the eight prominent verisimilitude proposals that make up the verisimilitude literature after the breakdown of Poppers definition in 1974. The author brings them together by comparing the ways in which they order propositional formulae. Using this method, he shows that the distinction of content and likeness definitions partitions the entire field of investigation. In addition, it is shown that the weak content definitions can be strengthened by incorporating considerations of similarity between possible worlds. The resulting refined verisimilitude definition has many desirable properties. For instance, it is the first qualitative proposal that evades the problem of truth-value dependence. In addition, in chapter five the often discussed and misunderstood problem of "language dependency" is solved. The book should be of interest to those working in the fields of logic, epistemology, philosophy of science, and (computational) linguistics.
