The task of the book is not to give a survey of the main theories
on truth found in the literature. There are several books available
which do this: The one of David for Deflationist (and
Disquotational) Theories of Truth; that of Chapuis for Revision
Theories of Truth; that of Kirkham for Correspondence Theories and
several others; that ofRescher for Coherence Theories of Truth.
Moreover the book is not an analy sis just of Tar ski's theory,
like that of Moreno or the respective chapters in Kirkham, though
Tarski's theory plays an important role in the whole work
presented. The task of the book is to give a detailed answer to
some basic questions on truth which have been perennial problems
through the centuries and are still discussed today. The answer is
given in the light of our knowledge today and with the help of
modem logic. But the book explicitly aims at connecting recent
problems with re lated ones in the whole history of philosophy. The
method to incorporate important philosophers of the tradition into
the analysis is that of disputation, i. e. of putting some of their
main thesis into objections or counterobjections pro or contra a
posi tive answer to the respective question. After the pros and
cons are given a detailed answer to the question is proposed and
finally commentaries and corrections are given to the objections
and counterobjections in the light of the proposed answer."
