Description: Discussion of notion of verisimilitude, closeness to truth; by Graham Oddie.
Truthlikeness (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Wed Jul 11, 2001; substantive revision Thu Jan 30, 2014 is widely held to be the constitutive aim of inquiry. Even those who think the aim of inquiry is something more accessible than the truth (such as the empirically discernible truth), as well as those who think the aim is something more robust than possessing truth (such as the possession of knowledge) still affirm truth as a necessary component of the end of inquiry. And, other things being equal, it seems better to end an inquiry by endorsing truths rather than falsehoods.
