Realismo, verdad y relativismo evolutivo
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The two main problems of the epistemology of science, rationality and truth, can be solved if we adopt an approach based on evolutionary biology and neuropsychology. Such a biological approach produces a straightforward means-ends account of rationality and makes us realize that rationality is a social property of science. The problem of truth gains impetus by the intuition that only realism can explain the success of science. But neither the history nor the present practice of science supports the required connection between truth and success. The biological approach explains how the connection should be in the opposite direction: success explains claims of truth. The resulting evolutionary relativism and its related theory of relative truth are more sensible proposals than the realism of analytic philosophers.
