In this provocative and wide-ranging book, Michael Devitt argues
for a thoroughgoing realism about the common-sense and scientific
physical world, and for a correspondence notion of truth.
Furthermore, he argues that, contrary to received opinion, the
metaphysical question of realism is distinct from, and prior to,
any semantic question about truth. The book makes incisive
responses to Putnam, Dummett, van Fraassen, and other major
anti-realists. The new afterword includes an extensive discussion
of the metaphysics of nonfactualism, and new thoughts on the need
for truth and on the determination of reference.
