Naive and refined truth approximation

Theo A. F. Kuipers

pp. 299-341

Abstract

The naive structuralist definition of truthlikeness is an idealization in the sense that it assumes that all mistaken models of a theory are equally bad. The natural concretization is a refined definition based on an underlying notion of structurelikeness.
