R. Campbell 
The Concept of Truth 

Support
This book addresses the contemporary disillusion with truth, manifest in sceptical relativism. Contending that all contemporary theories of truth are too narrow, it argues for a novel conception of truth, by showing how error is implicated in the actions of all living things; and by analyzing uses of ‚true‘ in non-linguistic contexts.
