Resumen de Scientific Truth as Augmented Reality: On the Contrast between ‘Wirklichkeit’ and ‘Actuality’
There is an empiricist prejudice deeply entrenched in the vagueness of English as a language for reflections on experience and cognition, knowledge and science, truth and reality. It results in a parochial way of contemporary ‘international’ philosophy. One of its core problems consists in a suitable understanding of the notions of forces and causes, dispositions and faculties. In recollection of Ancient and Kantian terminology, we can learn from Hegel, the great foe of immediacy, that real reality is a modal notion. It is conceptually Augmented Reality and, as such, a theoretically articulated possibility, which is in addition, on the ground of good reasons, evaluated as ‘wirklich’.
