veritistic

Of course, many rules that on their face invite one kind of veritistic analysis require a very different kind in practice.

Thus, the pertinent veritistic question concerns the veritistic credentials of the grounds on which hearsay is admitted, rather than the veritistic reasons for excluding it in most cases.

Naturalism in Legal Philosophy Leiter, Brian 2007

Normative naturalism is, in this respect, veritistic (to borrow Goldman's term): it is concerned with the production of knowledge, meaning (in part) true belief (Goldman 1999, pp. 79-100).

That means, of course, asking an essentially empirical question: does this rule of inclusion or exclusion in fact increase the likelihood that fact finders, given what they are actually like, will achieve knowledge about disputed matters of fact (i.e., does it maximize veritistic value).

The rest of the book examines types of social practices that make positive or negative contributions toward increasing veritistic value.

Social Epistemology Goldman, Alvin 2006

By considering a group's positive and negative reliability on various propositions under different aggregation procedures and scenarios, one can see how an aggregation procedure (a particular institution) makes a difference to the group's prospects for veritistic success.

Whether this is good or bad in epistemic, or veritistic, terms is a serious question for social epistemology.

Social Epistemology Goldman, Alvin 2006

The veritistic approach to social epistemology aims to be evaluative or normative rather than purely descriptive or explanatory.

In answer to these questions, it is sometimes possible to demonstrate mathematically that a certain practice would have certain veritistic properties.

Another lesson that List (2005) derives from the formal analysis of aggregation procedures concerns prospective veritistic gains from
