Description

Robert Almeder provides a comprehensive discussion and definitive refutation of our common conception of truth as a necessary condition for knowledge of the world, and to defend in detail an epistemic conception of truth without falling into the usual epistemological relativism or classical idealism in which all properties of the world turn out to be linguistic in nature and origin. There is no other book available that clearly and thoroughly defends the case for an epistemic conception of truth and alsoclaims success in avoiding idealism or epistemological relativism.  Read more... pt. 1. Rejecting correspondence and all non-epistemic theories of truth -- pt. 2. In defense of the epistemic theory of truth -- pt. 3. Defeating skepticism.
