Verisimilitude: a causal approach

I present a new definition of verisimilitude, framed in terms of causes. Roughly speaking, according to it a scientific model is approximately true if it captures accurately the strengths of the causes present in any given situation. Against much of the literature, I argue that any satisfactory account of verisimilitude must inevitably restrict its judgments to context-specific models rather th...

Scientific Progress, Verisimilitude, and Evidence

The verisimilitudinarian approach to scientific progress (VS) is the view that progress can be accounted for in terms of the increasing verisimilitude or, equivalently, truthlikeness, or approximation to the truth, of our theories. In this paper, I defend VS against the criticism, levelled by Bird (2007), that it exhibits an unacceptable lack of interest in the issue of the grounding of scienti...
