SUMMARY:Scientific Progress and the Search for Truth

TZID:Europe/Vienna
LOCATION:Spitalgasse 2-4\, Hof 2.8\, Alte Kapelle\, Vienna\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: Scientific progress is often understood in terms of increasing recognition of the truth. I argue that teleological conceptions of approaching "the truth about nature" are inadequate\, and that scientific progress should be understood in terms of problem-solving.&nbsp\; Pragmatic progress consists in resolving the problems that arise and in overcoming limitations.&nbsp\; The account I favor builds on the ideas about truth advanced by Peirce and James\, and it recognizes scientific inquiry as inevitably pervaded by a wide range of value judgments.</p>\n<p>This event is part of the UWC &ldquo\;How to think about science&rdquo\; and part of the Philosophy Department&rsquo\;s colloquium series\, and organized in cooperation with the Institute Vienna Circle\, at the University of Vienna.</p>\n<p>For more information\, see link or contact: Zsofi Jeney-Domingues at the CEU Department of philosophy (<a href="mailto:jeney-domingueszs@ceu.edu">jeney-domingueszs@ceu.edu</a>)</p>
