Abstract

In the last decade Robert Barnard and Joseph Ulatowski have conducted a number of experimental studies in order to better understand the ordinary notion of truth. In this paper I critically engage their ecological approach to the study of truth, and argue for a wider perspective on how truth should be empirically studied: in addition to the experimental data that they emphasize and collect, there should also be a substantial observational element to conceptual ecology. I then critically evaluate the conclusions they draw from their data, as they relate to correspondence, pluralism, and objectivity. Along the way, I offer suggestions for future lines of research for a more expansive and effective ecological exploration of truth.

实验真理

近十年来，罗伯特-巴纳德和约瑟夫-乌拉托夫斯基为了更好地理解真理的普通概念，进行了大量实验研究。在本文中，我对他们研究真理的生态学方法进行了批判性的探讨，并主张从更广阔的视角来看待如何对真理进行实证研究：除了他们所强调和收集的实验数据之外，概念生态学还应该有大量的观察元素。然后，我将对他们从数据中得出的结论进行批判性评估，因为这些结论与对应性、多元性和客观性有关。同时，我还对未来的研究方向提出了建议，以便对真理进行更广泛、更有效的生态学探索。
