What is Truth? (Hardcover, Reprint 2012)

In this collection of original papers, leading international
authorities turn their attention to one of the most important
questions in theoretical philosophy: what is truth? To arrive at an
answer, two further questions need to be addressed in this context:
1) Does truth possess any essence, any inner nature? and 2) If so,
what does this nature consist of? The present discussion focuses on
the antagonism between substantial or robust theories of truth,
with correspondence theory taking the lead, and deflationist or
minimalist views, which have been commanding an increasing amount
of attention in recent years. Whereas substantial theories proceed
from the premise that truth has an essence, and that therefore the
objective is to discover this essence, the challenge presented by
deflationism is to dispense with this very premise.
