Editat de Adam C. Podlaskowski, Drew Johnson

This book offers a collection of papers on focal themes in truth research, including minimalism, pragmatism and pluralism, and philosophical logic. It further provides valuable hindsight with contemporary perspectives on the works of Frege, Wittgenstein, Ramsey, Strawson, and Evans on truth, and it features recent discussions on the role and value of truth in politics and political discourse. The collection is based on groundbreaking presentations hosted by the Virtual International Consortium for Truth Research (VICTR), including talks given at the TRUTH 20/20 conference.
The volume features exclusive transcriptions of panel discussions on truth and factuality with Huw Price, Douglas Edwards, Cheryl Misak, and Amie Thomasson, and on truth and polarization with Michael Lynch, Maria Baghramian, and Cailin O’Connor. It includes the transcript of a televised 1973 conversation between Peter Strawson and Gareth Evans. And the volume features new contributions from established and early career researchers in the field. Anyone interested in the nature and value of truth will find this volume to be indispensable.

Notă biografică

Adam C. Podlaskowski is a Full Professor of Philosophy at Fairmont State University. One of the co-founders of the Virtual International Consortium for Truth Research, he continues to serve on its steering committee which arranges and hosts talks about truth in a virtual format. His research currently focuses on the intersection of meaning and metaphysics, the extent to which metasemantic assumptions drive certain research programs, and the overall need for a more pluralistic approach to theorizing about linguistic meaning. Much of his published work has been on the topics of pluralism and semantics, rule-following and dispositional accounts of meaning, infinitism and the structure of justification (with Joshua Smith), truth and semantics, and truth and doxastic norms.
 
Drew Johnson is a PhD student in the Philosophy Department at the University of Connecticut, and a current Research Fellow andformer Graduate Assistant at the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute. In his role at the UConn Humanities Institute, Drew provided administrative support for the Virtual International Consortium for Truth Research. His research focuses on the role that our most firmly held intellectual commitments play in our overall epistemic frameworks, and the significance of such commitments for deep disagreement, public discourse, and knowledge. He is also currently developing a theory of the function of ethical judgment in terms of its particular social coordinating role. Drew has published on hinge epistemology, deep disagreement, skepticism, intellectual humility, and expression and self-knowledge (with Dorit Bar-On).
