 | | However, it is an objective fact that Newton's theory is closer to the truth than Newton's relative to these questions. | | | This is a weaker form of relativism than saying that truth is relative, but it is still as bad as option 1 because it still implies that there is no objective sense of progress. | | | The verisimilitude ordering is the same no matter which language we use because when we translate the three questions {Is it hot? |

| | CONTEXT: On Realism and Art by Roman Jakobson |
| | Repin's teacher at the Academy, however, was appalled by the lack of realism in the painting, and he carefully itemized all the instances of Repin's distortion of verisimilitude by comparison with the academic canon which was for him the only guarantee of verisimilitude (i.e., from the standpoint of B2). | | | In other words, to the literary historians the realistic works of the last century represent the highest degree of verisimilitude, the maximum faithfulness to life. | | | Realism may refer to the aspiration and intent of the author; i.e., a work is understood to be realistic if it is conceived by its author as a display of verisimilitude, as true to life (meaning A). |

| | Verisimilitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Verisimilitude, in literature, is how fully the characters and actions in a work of fiction conform to our sense of reality. | | | To say that a work has a high degree of verisimilitude means that the work is very realistic and believable – that it is "true to life". |

| | "Verisimilitude" means "the appearance of truth." Just because something seems to be true doesn’t necessarily mean that it is true. | | | I absolutely believe that no matter what the actual captain of the Carpathian looked like compared with the actor that’s playing him, the sense of helplessness that is conveyed must be accurate. | | | Movies as we know them cannot be true, they can only give some impression of truth to varying degrees. |

| | On the Neglect of Verisimilitude and Critical Multiplism |
| | Now compare this next statement, obtained by substituting 'stimulus' for 'ad': "a stimulus is anything an experimenter says is a stimulus." This can be made false, but only by a stretch; it is most of the time true. | | | The question heading this section cannot even be asked, much less answered, if one adheres to the position of Cronbach or that of the early and late Campbell, for whom verisimilitude, qua construct validity, is part of external validity. | | | These differ from failures of verisimilitude in being methodological choices that are acceptable at the level of individual experiments, only becoming problematic when they unduly dominate the literature as a whole. |

| | Poetics - Volume 9, Issue 2 |
| | Verisimilitude is the word used to capture any story's "believability." We all know stories in any medium that step over the line of believability. | | | Less obviously, the form or medium in which we experience a story can add to or detract from its verisimilitude. | | | Believability fails when we agree to live in a story's world for a while only to find that the story doesn't live up to its end of the bargain. |

| | Ironically enough, the layering of generic verisimilitude upon cultural verisimilitude that creates the theme, also serves to support the idea that the reality that we think we know, is not the true reality. | | | This is where generic verisimilitude comes into play. | | | Although the plot of “The Matrix” follows a “generation-x” man (Neo) working in the average office building (which can easily be related to), the applications of generic verisimilitude in the movie extends the plot to include the fact that Neo is a powerful hacker (which does not easily apply to many people in society). |

| | Karl Popper |
| | Ultimately, the idea of verisimilitude is most important in cases where we know that we have to work with theories which are at best approximations—that is to say, theories of which we know that they cannot be true. | | | In 1974, Miller and Tichý, working independently of each other, demonstrated that the conditions specified by Popper in his accounts of both qualitative and quantitative verisimilitude for comparing the truth- and falsity-contents of theories can be satisfied only when the theories are true. | | | In this way, verisimilitude allowed Popper to mitigate what many saw as the pessimism of an anti-inductivist philosophy of science which held that most, if not all scientific theories are false, and that a true theory, even if discovered, could not be known to be such. |
