	Otteita ajasta
		Niiniluoto (1994, 40) ei kuitenkaan anna näihin suoralta kädeltä vastausta, vaan toteaa, että suomalaisten on tehtävä selviytymisstrategiastaan yhteinen sopimus ja sovittava kriisiajan etiikasta.
		Niiniluoto on kiristysvaateineen kuitenkin piirun verran myöhässä, sillä valtiovarainministeriö oli jo ehtinyt vuoden 1994 tulo- ja menoarviossa esittää, että korkeakoulujen voimavaroja lisätään viimeistään vuodesta 1995 alkaen siten, että kansallisen innovaatiojärjestelmän toimivuus turvataan.
		Niiniluoto on eri yhteyksissä puheenvuoron saatuaan muistanut puhua tieteen ja tutkijoiden puolesta ja kiristää lupauksia yliopistojen aseman parantamiseksi ja tutkijoiden vallan ulottamiseksi muualle yhteiskuntaan.

	disinformation \| is futures studies a science or an art? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Niiniluoto recognizes that futures discourse is a form of directed cultural evolution: "an artifact that is created by human actions." (Niiniluoto, 2001: 375).
		Niiniluoto's cognitive bias is also glaringly evident when he misrepresents Plato¡¦s definition of knowledge as meaning "the same as justified true belief" (Niiniluoto, 2001: 372).
		The second solution Bell offers is to replace Niiniluoto's "decision science" with an "action science" orientation (Bell, 1997: 181) that enables the fusion of scientific methods--"conditionals, counterfactuals, dispositionals, theoretical speculations, creative formulations of hypotheses, and predictions"--with the awareness of psychological, economic, cultural and sociopolitical implications of forecasts (Bell, 1997: 179, 182).

	Amazon.ca: Books: Critical Scientific Realism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Ilkka Niiniluoto comes to the rescue of scientific realism, showing that reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
		Niiniluoto surveys the different varieties of realism in ontology, semantics, epistemology, theory construction, and methodology.
		Niiniluoto's critical scientific realism is founded upon the notion of truth as correspondence between language and reality, and characterizes scientific progress in terms of increasing truthlikeness.

	Scientific Progress
		1984; Pearce 1987; Balzer 2000; Jonkisz 2000) and correspondence (Krajewski 1977; Nowak 1980; Pearce and Rantala 1984; Niiniluoto 1999; Nowakowa and Nowak 2000; Rantala 2002).
		For him, verisimilitude represents the idea of “approaching comprehensive truth.” Popper's explication used the cumulative idea that the more truthlike theory should have (in the sense of set-theoretical inclusion) more true consequences and less false consequences, but it turned that this comparison is not applicable to pairs of false theories.
		In the similarity approach, as developed in Niiniluoto (1987), closeness to the truth is explicated “locally” by means of the distances of partial answers g in D(B) to the target h* in a cognitive problem B.

	4.3.T.1 How to approach the truth (2003-2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Ilkka Niiniluoto and Theo Kuipers have been working for many years on two prima facie rather different, if not opposing, research programs, notably Carnap's confirmation theory and Popper's truth approximation theory.
		However, they have always felt that they were compatible, even smoothly synthesizable, for all empirical scientists use confirmation intuitions, and many of them have truth approximation ideas.
		In his Critical Scientific Realism, Niiniluoto sets out his version of scientific realism (based on his Truthlikeness of 1987) in critical comparison with other versions and defends it against non-realist approaches.

	LINGUIST List 15.2204: Philosophy of Language: Bonk (2004)
		Niiniluoto traces Carnap's further way by pointing out the influence that developments like Schlick's empiricist version of a correspondence theory of truth and Tarksi's truth definition had on his own thought.
		The editor was well- advised to order the papers of Niiniluoto and Wolenski in the way he did, as there is an obvious connection between these contributions in the common topic of influence of Gï¿½del and Tarski on Carnap.
		Insofar this paper complements both that of Niiniluoto that focuses on the (Neo-)Kantian background and that of Wolenski with its preoccupation with ''Der Raum''.
