Demonstrations and Arguments
The
fact that nothing can be proven in an absolute sense does not mean that
everything is true or that everything is false, nor that there is no difference
between nonsense and well-founded statements.
We must replace the concept of demonstration
with that of argumentation.
In other words, nothing is provable, but everything can be argued: in general,
it is possible to reach shared premises with interlocutors from which to start.
The truth we know is always relative to the moment and to the interlocutors:
nothing is definitive, but everything can be called into question.
