dc.description.abstract | For further development, see Karlis Podnieks in ResearchGate. How could we recognize truth, if we only have models, means of model-building, and the history of their evolution? Where is the truth in the cloud of models – with so many of them already gone with the wind? We can define truths as more or less persistent invariants of successful evolution of models and means of model-building. What is true, will not change in the future (for some time, at least). This approach to truth could be named demystified realism (or, demystified theory of truth) – the kind of realism based on a minimum of metaphysical assumptions. (“Robotic realism” also would be appropriate, but the term is occupied already.) | en_US |
