- W13147183 abstract "The goal of inquiry is to possess the truth. There is apparently a tension here between two conflicting demands: depth (we want deep, not superficial, truth) and certainty (we want assurance of truth). Verificationists emphasized the certainty pole. But the propositions that we can verify are generally shallow, and deep theories are either known to be false, or very unlikely. Falsificationists emphasized the depth pole. But being highly falsifiable is tantamount to high improbability which is not in itself a virtue of a theory. If we want to combine realism (truth outstrips our means of discovery), fallibilism (deep theories are very likely false), and optimism (we can and do make epistemic progress), then we also require the concept of verisimilitude, or closeness to truth. A theory which does not perfectly realize the goal may nevertheless be closer to the truth than another. Degree of truthlikeness is typically an unknown magnitude, but with a measure of probability we can estimate its value. Coherent, defensible accounts of truth, probability, and truthlikeness can thus be combined. The goal of inquiry is the whole truth. Actual progress occurs when truthlikeness increases. The epistemic indicator of truthlikeness is expected truthlikeness." @default.
