Abstract

This text emerged from fragmentary reflections about physics, science and language. It is an attempt to organize the key ideas around a test question that seems to pervade, though implicitly, the present and future days of the philosophy of science. “Human knowledge” is something much bigger than science proper, but it is science where the question is highly non-trivial. In this perspective I focus on science.
