I have been thinking about the philosophical issue of truth for
more than two decades. It is one of several fascinating
philosophical issues that motivated me to change my primary re
ective interest to philosophy after receiving BS in mathem- ics in
1982. Some serious academic work in this connection started around
the late eighties when I translated into Chinese a dozen of Donald
Davidson's representative essays on truth and meaning and when I
assumed translator for Adam Morton who gave a series of lectures on
the issue in Beijing (1988), which was co-sponsored by my then
institution (Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social
Science). I have loved the issue both for its own sake (as one
speci c major issue in the phil- ophy of language and metaphysics)
and for the sake of its signi cant involvement in many
philosophical issues in different subjects of philosophy. Having
been attracted to the analytic approach, I was then interested in
looking at the issue both from the points of view of classical
Chinese philosophy and Marxist philosophy, two major styles or
frameworks of doing philosophy during that time in China, and from
the point of view of contemporary analytic philosophy, which was
then less recognized in the Chinese philosophical circle.
