Abstract

Model and truth: By thinking in terms of and with the help of models, we consciously give up a language, which implies that we might be the only ones, who are able to know the only truth. We do not say that "these are the facts, and only the facts matter". A more appropriate language says: "By assuming this and that, and adopting the set of these rules, we may imply this and that". This is not a shame. We may admit that we are not the owners of the final and infallible truth.
