The logic of inquiry requires a renegotiation of truth, a concept
of truth that emerges as inquiry progresses. The model of emerging
truth (MET) attempts to capture this in a metamathematical
construction, drawing upon the structure of physical chemistry as a
paradigm of successful inquiry. The MET yields a hierarchical
theory of warrant strength relevant to both formal and informal
logic. The book situates the MET within the context of
argumentation theory, informal logic and critical thinking. It
contrasts the naturalistic approach of a science-based account of
logic and epistemology with the work of Harvey Siegel, James
Freeman and Robert Pinto. It draws upon Stephen Toulmin's notion of
warrant, a core insight of Rudolf Carnap and a suggestion by David
Hitchcock. The application of the MET to the theory of argument
reflects both the concerns of informal logicians and recent work in
adaptive logic by Christian Strasser and Dunja Seselja. It refl
ects Hilary Putnam's notion of internal realism in support of a
naturalistic ontology as the basis for the truth predicate defined
in the MET and supports a shift in argumentation theory from
dialectics to epistemology."
