veritas est adequatio rei et intellectus (Woleński, 1993, p. 330). This relational character is compatible with the objectivity of truth. Indeed, in my view, Tarski's model-theoretical concept of truth amended with the notion of truthlikeness provides an adequate basis for a fallibilist critical scientific realism (see Niiniluoto, 1987; 1999a). While some ways of relativizing truth are "innocent' from the viewpoint of a realist, who wishes to defend the epistemological status of science, it is important to show why relativists of various sorts are mistaken in their claims that all truths are relative to persons, communities, cultures, beliefs, paradigms, or perspectives.¹" /> Against relative truth - Niiniluoto Ilkka | sdvig press
