Logic, Mathematics, and the Natural Sciences
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that intuitionistic relevant logic (IR) is adequate for natural science applications, and the question of the adequacy of constructive methods for hypothetico-deductivism in natural science is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Full Price of Truth
TL;DR: This article argued that Wright's notion of superassertability has no role to play in the anti-realist's account of empirical discourse and pointed out the need to be careful not to short-change the truth-teller.
Journal ArticleDOI
