HALF A CENTURY OF THE FIXISM – NEOMOBILISM DISCUSSION: AN ANALYSIS OF REALITY OR OF HYPOTHESES, A SEARCH FOR TRUTH OR FOR CONVENIENT THEORY?

A. A. Naimark

Moscow State University, Moscow, 119992

The new point of view to the comparative estimate of truth, use and preference of natural science conceptions is discussed. Any conception as a model of reality can be by definition neither true nor false absolutely. Any empiric fact can neither corroborate nor disprove any conception entirely. A strict estimate of a degree of correspondence to the facts is impossible. One or another conception is a more useful one owing not to aforesaid, but to the most efficiency of application to solution of scientific and practical problems only.
