Cover of Nathan Kellen & Junyeol Kim: Nature of Truth (PDF)

The definitive and essential collection of classic and new essays on analytic theories of truth, revised and updated, with seventeen new chapters.The question "What is truth?" is so philosophical that it can seem rhetorical. Yet truth matters, especially in a "post-truth" society in which lies are tolerated and facts are ignored. If we want to understand why truth matters, we first need to understand what it is. The Nature of Truth offers the definitive collection of classic and contemporary essays on analytic theories of truth. This second edition has been extensively revised and updated, incorporating both historically central readings on truth’s nature as well as up-to-the-moment contemporary essays. Seventeen new chapters reflect the current trajectory of research on truth.Highlights include new essays by Ruth Millikan and Gila Sher on correspondence theories; a new essay on Peirce’s theory by Cheryl Misak; seven new essays on deflationism, laying out both theories and critiques; a new essay by Jamin Asay on primitivist theories; and a new defense by Kevin Scharp of his replacement theory, coupled with a probing critique of replacement theories by Alexis Burgess. Classic essays include selections by J. L. Austin, Donald Davidson, William James, W. V. O. Quine, and Alfred Tarski.
