Paperback. Zustand: New. Truth: The Basics is a concise and engaging introduction to philosophical theories about the nature of truth. The two authors - leading philosophers in this field - build the book around a single question: what, if anything, is common to all truths, which makes them true? The book explores five important answers ('theories') to the given question: correspondence, semantic, verifiability, transparency, and plurality. For each given theory, the following questions are addressed:What is the theory's answer to the central question?What is the basic motivation behind that answer?What is a precise argument for that answer?What are the biggest objections to that answer?What are a few good resources for understanding more about the theory?An additional chapter provides an extensive introduction to the notorious liar paradox. Truth: The Basics is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a lively and accessible introduction to the rich and complex philosophical study of truth.Key Features:Written in a clear and concise fashionClearly explains five major theories of truth for an uninitiated readership of undergraduate students and general readersPrepares the reader to tackle more advanced work in truth studiesMakes connections between truth and other areas of philosophy, including the philosophy of language, semantics, metaphysics, logic and epistemologyIncludes technical appendices for more advanced readers.
