The notion of truth has become much discussed in philosophy over
the last few decade, with many senior figures grappling with the
relativist and constructivist notions of truth popular in other
parts of the academy. It continues to be a subject enjoying vibrant
debate. Despite the varieties of views on truth, most of the
discussion has agreed that truth has a uniform, stable nature,
ranging across the boundaries of human knowledge. The editors and
contributors to this volume challenge this very basic assumption,
putting forth the idea of what is called alethic pluralism - that
there is more than one way of being true. While it is
uncontroversial that there are different kinds of truth (moral
truth, scientific truth etc), these pluralist views propose that
truth itself can vary and that bearers of truth can literally be
true in different ways. This volume presents new essays by some of
the world's leading philosophers to explore this new view and its
implications for the philosophy of language, epistemology,
metaphysics, and logic.
