The Oxford Handbook of Truth by Michael Glanzberg, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Truth is one of the central concepts in philosophy, and has been a perennial subject of study. Michael Glanzberg has brought together 36 leading experts from around the world to produce the definitive guide to philosophical issues to do with truth. They consider how the concept of truth hasbeen understood from antiquity to the present day, surveying major debates about truth during the emergence of analytic philosophy. They offer critical assessments of the standard theories of truth, including the coherence, correspondence, identity, and pragmatist theories. They explore the role oftruth in metaphysics, with lively discussion of truthmakers, proposition, determinacy, objectivity, deflationism, fictionalism, relativism, and pluralism. Finally the handbook explores broader applications of truth in philosophy, including ethics, science, and mathematics, and reviews formal work ontruth and its application to semantic paradox. This Oxford Handbook will be an invaluable resource across all areas of philosophy. | The Oxford Handbook of Truth by Michael Glanzberg, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
