The Possibility of Relative Truth: An Examination of the Possibility of Truth Relativism Within Coherence and Correspondence Host Theories of Truth: Routledge Revivals

Autor Peter Davson-Galle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 mai 2019
First published in 1998, this book is an investigation of the possibility of articulating a coherent thesis of truth relativism within first, a host correspondence theory of truth and second, a host coherence theory of truth. The type of relativism addressed in the book is what is sometimes called ’framework relativism’ - that where truth is relativised to a framework of belief or conceptual scheme. A further restraint is that a global relativistic thesis is sought - one which is relativistic about all truths. The book does not set itself the task of defending relativism but just that of seeking a coherent articulation of it.

Recenzii

’... merely to provide a coherent articulation ...the conclusion he reaches is that it proves to be the correspondence theory, not the coherence theory, within which it is easier to articulate global framework truth relativism’ Bibliographie De La Philosophie

Descriere

First published in 1998, this book is a tightly focused and in-depth treatment of the question: 'Can one be a relativist about all truths within either a coherence or a correspondence host theory without absurdity?'
