Through a Glass Darkly: A Final Rejoinder to Raclavský
Through a Glass Darkly: A Final Rejoinder to Raclavský

Summary/Abstract: This rejoinder to Raclavský (2008) should be read in conjunction with the criticisms in Taliga (2008) and Miller (2008) of Raclavský’s (2007) defence of Tichý’s theory of verisimilitude. 1 The theory of partial ordering can be axiomatized with strict inequality < as a primitive term and asymmetry and transitivity as special axioms. It can be axiomatized also with weak inequality as a primitive term and reflexivity, antisymmetry, and transitivity as special axioms. It is common knowledge that these two axiomatizations are interchangeable, and that nothing of the least importance hangs on which of the relational predicates < and is taken as primitive.
