Theories of Truth
A Critical Introduction
Richard
L
Kirkham
Theories of Truth tackles one of the most difficult areas in philoso¬
phy. It surveys all of the major philosophical theories of truth,
presenting the crux of the issues involved at a level accessible to
nonexperts yet in a manner sufficiently detailed and original to
be of value to professional scholars. Included are discussions of
such theories as the correspondence, coherence, pragmatic,
semantic, performative, redundancy, appraisal, and truth-as-justi-
fication theories. Also covered are the liar paradox, three-valued
logic, Field s critique of Tarski, satisfaction, and recursion, as well
as how theories of justification, properly understood, differ from
theories of truth.
Kirkham s book is a superb introduction to the metaphysics
and semantics of truth. Kirkham also makes an important original
contribution to the subject by insisting that we keep track of the
purposes to which a theory of truth is to be put. This is one
introductory book that will be of as much interest to specialists
as to beginning students.
