Truth, perspectivism, and scientific knowledge on health
Background
This paper responds to an essay in the journal that talks about the challenges and consequent criteria in dealing with truth, which is claimed to be absolute. The target essay hinges on Aristotelian and Platonic logical principles as criteria to argue for a real scientific discourse in the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methodology
The paper utilizes theoretical critique.
Discussion
Scientific knowledge about public health is not about absolute truth but the latest justifications. Truth could at best be a commitment to a perspective, which scientism's verificationist principles are not entirely concerned about.
Perspectives
In aligning with perspectivism about truth, one does not necessarily relapse to relativism. That there are different Covid-19 reports does not mean that they are lies or distortions to a necessary absolute truth.
期刊介绍：
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
