Philosophical Problems Today is a new series of publications from
the Institut International de Philosophie. lt follows upon
Contemporary Philosophy, a series presenting philosophical research
in various world cultures and so far published in seven volumes:
Vols. 1-4 on European Philosophy, Vol. 5 on African Philosophy,
Vol. 6 on Medieval Philosophy (Part 1 and 2) and Vol. 7 on Asian
Philosophy (appeared in 1993). A further volume, dealing with the
Philosophy of South America, is still in prepa ration (to appear in
1994/95). The new series is based on a different concept. Bach
volume consists as a rule of five articles. The articles are
extensive discussions of topical philosophical problems and offer
always some original contributions. The articles in each volume
repre sent different philosophical traditions and cultures and may
thus contribute to crosscultural communication. Volume 1 in the new
series contains articles on standard problems in European and
American philosophy. Quine writes on truth and discusses various
difficulties connected with the clear definition of the
correspondence theory of truth. What are true and false, are
propositions. Part of the difficulty stems from the ambiguity of
"proposition." Some think that the word refers to certain types of
sentences, others that it rather refers to the meaning of such
sentences. Another major difficulty is due to the fact that the
world, being unique, may be variously grasped."
