Quasi-truth is a formal approach to pragmatically-oriented view of truth. The basic plan motivating the framework consists in providing for more realistic account truth, accommodating situations where there incomplete information, as typically happens practice science. historical sciences are case hand, information rule. It would seem, then, that quasi-truth be most appropriate one deal with sciences, then. In this paper, we explore possibility and use test quasi-truth. Our claim that, on what concerns fails two senses; first, by misrepresenting some cases concerning second, falling short accounting many features peculiar sciences. We conclude despite its stated goals, must either amended or substituted if goal faithful representation scientific achieved.
