Die Suche nach einem solchen Kriterium, einem sicheren Anzeichen der Wahrheit, war bisher erfolglos. Deshalb muß man aber keineswegs die Wahrheitsidee, den Begriff und das Ideal der Wahrheit opfern. Alfred Tarski hat mit Recht festgestellt, daß sich der Wahrheitsbegriff in dieser Hinsicht nicht von manchen anderen Begriffen – zum Beispiel von Begriffen des mathematischen und des physikalischen Denkens – unterscheidet.

What, for example, might a strict criterion for life be? The true demarcation of species? What exactly is space? Well, we don’t know exactly. But we still get on with our research and don’t worry overly much.
And what’s more, precision for its own sake is the other side of that coin.
