Dos falibilistas en busca de la verdad

Abstract

The article compares the work of Peirce and Popper. It focuses on issues in epistemology and philosophy of science, especially Peirce’s claims that abduction is a matter of logic, and that induc-tion can be given a weak form of justification. Peirce’s and Pop-per’s accounts of the nature of truth and its role in scientific in-quiry are compared, and difficulties are diagnosed in both their attempts to reconcile fallibilism with a definition of truth which allows it to be both objective and regulative.
