Truth by Pascal Engel
An introduction to the philosophical issues in the theory of truth that provides exposition of ideas while offering perspectives that advances discussion of the key issues. It begins with a presentation of the conceptions of truth - the correspondence theory, the coherence theory and verificationist and pragmatist accounts.
"Pascal Engel, who teaches at the Sorbonne, is one of the leading figures in the ongoing attempt to make the disciplinary matrix of French philosophy more like that of Anglo-American philosophy, and to get French philosophers to take seriously the problems discussed by their Anglophone colleaguesIn this book, he offers a clear, succinct, and very useful review of discussions of the concept of truth." - Richard Rorty, Stanford University "well-informed, giving a judicious view of a great deal of the recent work on truth - the discussions are clear and helpful, and students both at introductory and at quite advanced levels will be very grateful for it." - Simon Blackburn, University of Cambridge
