�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

This important book is about truth, and the enemies of truth, and the wars that are fought between them. As Simon Blackburn says in his introduction, "the ground is complicated, strewn with abandoned fortresses and trenches, fought over by shifting alliances". Truth is an essential sure-footed guide through the territory, from classical to modern times. It looks at relativism and absolutism, toleration and belief, objectivity and knowledge, science and pseudo-science, and the moral and political implications, as well as the nuances, of all these.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Versandinformationen:

Shipping rates to most European countries & the USA are now based upon the weight of the book, so ( all things being equal ) the price for shipping is the true cost of sending your book. So, a small paperback will be far cheaper than a large tome - CHEERS ABE FOR THIS. All items are packed individually and to a very high standard, using only easily recyclable materials. We DO NOT just stick the book in a polythene mailer with a prayer.
