Aristotle was a genius. No WONDER Tarski found inspiration in the Stagirite
for his theory of truth, which, as Geary notes, relates to Greek
'aletheia'.
Popper distinguishes between truth and verisimilitude -- a concept coined
by Cicero. Geary, on the other hand, coined falsisimilitude.
In Italian, "la teoria del probabilismo e del verOsimile [emphasis
Speranza's] si adattavano perfettamente ad una personalità quale quella di
Cicerone", roughly: "The theory of the verIsimile [emphasis Speranza's] fits
Cicero's personality."
Italian Keywords: Verisimile/Verosimile.
Lewis and Short go on to give the type of syllables involved:
vērĭsĭmĭlis, vērĭsĭmĭlĭter, vērĭsĭmĭlĭtūdo,
and add, alla Fowler:
"more correctly written separately" vērī sĭmĭlis, etc.,"
and thus leading the reader to "v. under "verus" and "similis", etc."
Cfr. Geary: "'falsisimilis", or "falsi similis", if you mustn't."
Cheers,
Speranza
