*aka ‘truth-like-ness’*
.
(“verisimilitude” is a ‘philosophical concept’ that distinguishes between the ‘relative’ + ‘apparent’ (or seemingly so) ‘truth’/’falsity’ of ‘assertions’ + ‘hypotheses’)
.
(the problem of “verisimilitude” is the problem of articulating what it takes for 1 ‘false’ theory to be closer to the ‘truth’ than another ‘false’ theory)
(this problem was central to the philosophy of ‘karl popper’, largely because ‘popper’ was among the first to affirm that ‘truth’ is the aim of ‘scientific inquiry’ while acknowledging that most of the greatest ‘scientific theories’ in the history of ‘science’ are (strictly speaking) ‘false’)
.
(if this long string of purportedly ‘false’ theories is to constitute ‘progress’ with respect to the goal of ‘truth’, then it must be at least possible for 1 ‘false theory’ to be closer to the ‘truth’ than others)
