logic of justification but only of a context of discovery just to emphasize the discrepancy. Whether a hypothesis is verified or refuted by the evidence is strictly a logical matter which can be settled "out of court" in a logical or approximately logical fashion. However, it seems to be the case of many, at least early, confirmation theorists or justificationists, like Hempel, that they did not insist on convergence to a correct hypothesis. For them, confirmation was to be an end in itself. In consequence, one could confirm forever heading nowhere near the correct answer." /> Assessment and discovery in the limit of scientific inquiry - Hendricks Vincent F. | sdvig press
