What is 'truth'? The question that Pilate put to Jesus was laced
with dramatic irony. But at a time when what is true and what is
untrue have acquired a new currency, the question remains of
crucial significance. Is truth a matter of the representation of
things which lack truth in themselves? Or of mere coherence? Or is
truth a convenient if redundant way of indicating how one's
language refers to things outside oneself? In her ambitious new
book, Catherine Pickstock addresses these profound questions,
arguing that epistemological approaches to truth either fail
argumentatively or else offer only vacuity. She advances instead a
bold metaphysical and realist appraisal which overcomes the Kantian
impasse of 'subjective knowing' and ban on reaching beyond
supposedly finite limits. Her book contends that in the end truth
cannot be separated from the transcendent reality of the thinking
soul.
