Combining philosophical and technical material, the book is organized around, but not limited to, the view known as deflationism. In clear language, Burgess and Burgess cover a wide range of issues, including the nature of truth, the status of truth-value gaps, the relationship between truth and meaning, relativism and pluralism about truth, and semantic paradoxes from Alfred Tarski to Saul Kripke and beyond. The book provides a rich picture of contemporary philosophical theorizing about truth, one that will be essential reading for philosophy students as well as philosophers specializing in other areas. 410 0$aPrinceton foundations of contemporary philosophy. 606 $aTruth 610 $aAlfred Tarski. 610 $aAristotle. 610 $aDavidsonianism. 610 $aDummettianism. 610 $aFrank P.
