See all formats and editions

This is a concise introduction to current philosophical debates about truth.

Combining philosophical and technical material, the book is organized around, but not limited to, the view known as deflationism.

In clear language, Burgess and Burgess cover a wide range of issues, including the nature of truth, the status of truth-value gaps, the relationship between truth and meaning, relativism and pluralism about truth, and semantic paradoxes from Alfred Tarski to Saul Kripke and beyond.

The book provides a rich picture of contemporary philosophical theorizing about truth, one that will be essential reading for philosophy students as well as philosophers specializing in other areas.
