In capable hands, truth serves as a defense or as a weapon, as a comfort or a challenge. William Melvin Gardner's new book HANDLING TRUTH develops the reader's mastery of truth, with skills for identifying the four domains of truth, their unique strengths and weaknesses, and the authorities who govern them. It includes techniques for classifying and critiquing assertions of truth, for polishing your debate skills, crafting logical arguments, and understanding research findings. HANDLING TRUTH will start you on a rewarding path to real understanding of law and politics, religion, philosophy, science, and yourself.
