Scepticism, scientific rationality, philosophy

Paolo Parrini

pp. 171-196

In the previous chapter, I argued that the thesis of linguistic, theoretical, and ontological incommensurability does not exclude the possibility in principle of interpreting truth and objectivity as regulative ideals, directing our scientific and cognitive efforts towards a knowledge as unitary and intersubjectively valid as possible. Nevertheless, I argued, as empiricists, we cannot guarantee a priori that our scientific and cognitive efforts will be successful.
