R. Chisholm on Verification - Dictionary of Arguments
II 17 Verification/Rutte: why check truth? The dogmatist does not do this either, although he is bound to the same truth-ideal. Therefore, verification must be interested in (action) success. - But this must be checked again, regress. >Regress. Solution: coherence. >Coherence theory. II 22 Empiricism/verification/memory/Rutte: must happen immediately in the experience: what kind of successes should we remember? - However, memory must distinguish between coexisting and successive experiences - this presupposes the belief that not every memory deceives. Rutte, Heiner. Mitteilungen über Wahrheit und Basis empirischer Erkenntnis, mit besonderer Berücksichtigung des Wahrnehmungs- und Außenweltproblems. In: M.David/L.
