Truth: A Contemporary Reader
Editat de Dr Douglas Edwardsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 sep 2019
Featuring 22 essays, this up-to-date reader includes seminal work by leading figures in contemporary analytic philosophy. It charts the development of the central 'grand proposals' about the nature of truth, and subsequently how their influence gradually diminished in face of new theories developed in the 20th and 21st-centuries. The reader also demonstrates how truth is often taken to be valuable in various ways, in particular as the norm of correctness for belief and assertion, and the relationship between truth and other epistemic values.
With introductory overviews to each group of related papers complemented by guides to further reading, this reader introduces the central debates, familiarizes students with the most important work in the field and covers pivotal theories of truth including:
- correspondence theories
- coherentism, pragmatism, verificationism
- deflationary, primitivist, and pluralist theories
Moreover, by showing how thoughts about truth and value bear heavily on one another, Truth: A Contemporary Reader provides new opportunities for understanding and advancing the link between these central topics. This is an essential collection for anyone studying or working in metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language today.

Recenzii
This collection is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to familiar with the ongoing philosophical debates about truth. Edwards's section introductions are helpful and clear. The articles collected here illustrate the most important moves in thinking about truth and its value over the past couple of centuries.
The philosophy of truth has become a very complex field of inquiry, especially at a time when disrespect for truth is common. This well-devised anthology brings together both classical sources and more recent work. It gives an excellent image of the present debates, and guidelines to further inquiry.
This great anthology will familiarize readers with core areas and questions in the study of the nature of truth. The general introduction and six more focused introductions by Prof. Edwards will be of incredible value to readers, as they will help them understand the included works and appreciate the richness of the truth debate.
