| Abstract
|
:
|
"Truth is one of the most hotly debated topics in philosophy; Wolfgang Kunne presents a critical examination of all major theories. Conceptions of Truth is organized around a flow-chart comprising sixteen key questions, ranging from Is truth a property? to Is truth epistemically constrained? Kunne explains many important distinctions (between varieties of correspondence, for example, between different conceptions of making true, between various kinds of eternalism and temporalism) which have so far been neglected. He argues that it is possible to give a satisfactory 'modest' account of truth without invoking notions like correspondence, fact, or meaning. And he offers a novel argument to support the 'realist' claim that truth outruns justifiability."--BOOK JACKET.
