In this short, lucid, rich book Michael Dummett sets out his views
about some of the deepest questions in philosophy. The fundamental
question of metaphysics is: what does reality consist of? To answer
this, Dummett holds, it is necessary to say what kinds of fact
obtain, and what constitutes their holding good. Facts correspond
with true propositions, or true thoughts: when we know which
propositions, or thoughts, in general, are true, we shall know what
facts there are in general. Dummett considers the relation between
metaphysics, our conception of the constitution of reality, and
semantics, the theory that explains how statements are determined
as true or as false in terms of their composition out of their
constituent expressions. He investigates the two concepts on which
the bridge that connects semantics to metaphysics rests, meaning
and truth, and the role of justification in a theory of meaning. He
then examines the special semantic and metaphysical issues that
arise with relation to time and tense. On this basis Dummett puts
forward his controversial view of reality as indeterminate: there
may be no fact of the matter about whether an object does or does
not have a given property. We have to relinquish our deep-held
realist understanding of language, the illusion that we know what
it is for any proposition that we can frame to be true
independently of our having any means of recognizing its truth, and
accept that truth depends on our capacity to apprehend it. Dummett
concludes with a chapter about God.
