Minimal assumptions: minimal realism, minimal empiricism, striving for objectivity, attitude of fallibility. >Truth, >Empiricism, >Objectivity, >Falsifiability. Def Rational Reconstruction/Schurz: Rational Reconstruction develops general precise models of scientific knowledge, which on the one hand apply to the descriptive corrective, i.e. can optimally explain the success of its model examples, and which on the other hand can be justified under the condition of the normative corrective (rationality), namely as optimal means to reach the general goal of knowledge. >Rational reconstruction, >Truth, >Empiricism, >Objectivity, >Falsifiability._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
