The book does not aim to establish the existence of an independent mind-independent world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book is dedicated to clarifying and defending the concept of Correspondence. In Chapter 2, Correspondence is refined by distinguishing its essential elements from other philosophical tenets that have burdened it. Chapter 3 examines some of the most common criticisms leveled against Correspondence, as well as a novel objection proposed by Hillary Putnam. Chapter 4 explores the two most prominent alternative truth theories: Coherence and Pragmatism. Chapter 5 presents a version of Correspondence that incorporates these insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart two of the book explores non-standard theories of truth that epistemologize truth. Chapter 6 provides an overview of certain generalized positions, including relativism about truth, but the majority of the chapter is devoted to examining three distinct individualized attempts to epistemologize truth. The author concludes that once Correspondence is better understood, and the genuine insights of these views are clarified, global realism survives intact. This book is a valuable resource for students of philosophy and political philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032612065\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerald A.
