How to Estimate Closeness to the Truth for Scientific Laws. A Case Study of the Development of Gas Laws over 140 Years
Truthlikeness for Quantitative Deterministic Laws
Truthlikeness is a property of a theory or a proposition that represents its closeness to the truth. According to Niiniluoto, truthlikeness for quantitative deterministic laws can be defined by the Minkowski metric. I present some counterexamples to the definition and argue that it fails because it considers truthlikeness for quantitative deterministic laws to be just a function of accuracy, but an accurate law can be wrong about the actual ‘stru…
