The Nature of Truth: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives — Michael P. Lynch (editor)

This collection brings together classic and contemporary philosophical accounts of truth.

Its essays examine correspondence, coherence, pragmatist, and deflationary approaches.

The contributors debate whether truth has a substantial nature or a simpler linguistic role.

Formal theories and competing philosophical arguments clarify where these positions disagree.

The volume offers a way to compare the assumptions and limits of different theories.
