Abstract
What it means to “solve problems in a scientific way” changes in history. It had taken a long time for the paradigm of the “rigid” — the “objective”, the “clare et distincte” — to become precise (and hence fixed, in the ambivalent sense of such progress): as being identical with “formalized” or “formalizable”, thus referring to a given deductive apparatus. This appears convincing. In order to be rigid in the sense that anybody else (sufficiently trained) might understand my words and symbols as they were meant, I have to fix the language and the rules of operating on symbols beforehand, and all that “meaning” means must be contained in that initial ruling. What other way could there be to definitely exclude subjective misunderstanding and failure of any kind?
