Truth is one of the most debated topics in philosophy; Wolfgang
Kunne presents a comprehensive critical examination of all major
theories. Conceptions of Truth is organized around a flow-chart
comprising sixteen key questions, ranging from Is truth a property?
to Is truth epistemically constrained? Kunne expounds and engages
with the ideas of many thinkers, from Aristotle and the Stoics, to
Continental analytic philosophers like Bolzano, Brentano, and
Kotarbinski, to such leading figures in current debates as Dummett,
Putnam, Wright, and Horwich. He explains many important
distinctions (between varieties of correspondence, for example,
between different conceptions of making true, between various kinds
of eternalism and temporalism) which have so far been neglected in
the literature. Kunne argues that it is possible to give a
satisfactory 'modest' account of truth without invoking problematic
notions like correspondence, fact, or meaning. And he offers a
novel argument to support the realist claim that truth outruns
justifiability. The clarity of exposition and the wealth of
examples will make Conceptions of Truth an invaluable and
stimulating guide for advanced students and scholars in
metaphysics, epistemology and the philosophy of language.
