Abstract
Philosopher Ian Hacking makes the point that that there are many ways of looking at scientific truth, depending on the particular science involved. For example, he points out that botany, which he calls "basically a classificatory science," is very different from molecular biology or physics. As a result the notion of truth in each is likewise very different. Professor Hacking suggests that instead of talking about "truth" as an abstraction, we should be asking "what's true?"
