From Ontological Truth to Epistemological Truth. A reading into the explanatory adequacy of the grammatical government

Abstract

This paper entitled “from ontological truth to epistemological truth. A reading into the explanatory adequacy of the grammatical government” is based on the descriptive and comparative approach to summarize the position of critics of the government system in the Arabic grammatical tradition in terms of their view of it as a system imposed on the language from outside it, then it details the nature of scientific truth and its transformations, and shows the relationship between this and understanding the nature of the relationship between reality and theory, and the relationship of this to understanding the nature of the relationship between the studied reality and the explained theory. It shows the grammarians’ perception of this interpretation that they presented, and the impact of the perception in pushing criticisms as criticisms that did not understand the logic adapted by grammarians and the historical contexts in which both grammars; Western and Arabic arose.

Keywords: Philosophy of science, scientific explanation, structuralism, grammatical government.
