Crispin Wright's "Truth and Objectivity" brought about a
far-reaching reorientation of the metaphysical debates concerning
realism and truth. The essays in this companion volume prefigure,
elaborate, or defend the proposals put forward in that landmark
work.
The collection includes the Gareth Evans memorial lecture in
which the program of "Truth and Objectivity" was first announced,
as well as all of Wright's published reactions to the extensive
commentary his study provoked; it presents substantial new
developments and applications of the pluralistic outlook on the
realism debates proposed in "Truth and Objectivity," and further
pursues its distinctive minimalist conceptions of truth and of
truth-aptitude. Among the papers are important discussions of
coherence conceptions of truth, of Hilary Putnam's most recent
views on truth, and of the classical debate between correspondence,
coherence, pragmatism, and deflationary conceptions of the notion.
Others are concerned with Kripke's famous argument against
physicalist conceptions of sensation; the distinction between
minimal truth-aptitude and cognitive command; a novel prospectus
for a philosophy of vagueness; and a new proposal about the most
resilient interpretation of relativism.
