Media & Culture.
In this scholarly but non-technical book, Campbell elucidates the
concept of truth by tracing its history, from the ancient Greek
idea that truth is timeless, unchanging, and free from all
relativism, through the seventeenth-century crisis which led to the
collapse of that idea, and then on through the emergence of
historical consciousness to the existentialist, sociological, and
linguistic approaches of our own time. He gives a scholarly but
vivid and economical exposition of the views of a remarkably wide
range of thinkers, always showing how their ideas engage with our
contemporary concerns. He argues that current problems with truth
arise from the way differing past conceptions continue to resound
in our contemporary use of the word, and suggests that we must
formulate a new conception of truth that is compatible with
awareness that human existence is finite and contingent--with
awareness of our own historicity.
