A comprehensive survey of all the major theories of truth. Looking at questions such as `what do facts have to do with the truth?' Johnson argues for his own new account of truth.

This book offers an introductory account of the central theories of truth. A wide range of theories, from those of correspondence and coherence to Tarski's semantic conception of truth are presented and assessed in order to profit from that which is of value in them. The authot proposes a new account which it is asserted is adequate to meet the legitimate demands made on the theory of truth.

Johnson, Lawrence E.
