Ebook: Johnson - Focusing on Truth
Author: Lawrence E. Johnson
Focusing on Truth explores the question of what truth is, balancing historical with issue-orientated discussion. The book opens with an analysis of the coherence theory of truth and then the correspondence theory of truth, as developed by Moore, Russell and Wittgenstein. Through a study of the semantic conceptions of truth, the author reveals that an adequate theory of truth must take account of the pragmatics of person, purpose, and circumstance. A full understanding of facts and truth bearers is considered central to Johnson's criticism of the opposing truth theories of J. L. Austin and P. F. Strawson.
