What is truth?

Steven Weinberg may be right to criticize aspects of Thomas Kuhn's writings, as you report in your editorial (November 1998 p3). But Weinberg's own proposals, which he discussed in the 8 October 1998 issue of The New York Review of Books, have their problems as well. I discussed such matters further in a recent review of Roger Newton's book The Truth of Science (see Endeavour 1998 22 83), and will indicate some of the arguments here. I emphasize that I am not opposed to science as such.
