Description

In this second edition of Realism and Truth, Michael Devitt presents a wide-ranging argument for a thoroughgoing realism regarding the scientific and common-sense physical world. This work advocates for a correspondence notion of truth and challenges received opinions by arguing that the metaphysical question of realism is distinct from, and prior to, any semantic question about truth. Devitt provides incisive responses to major anti-realists including Putnam, Dummett, and van Fraassen. This updated edition features an extensive new afterword that includes a discussion on the metaphysics of nonfactualism, along with new thoughts on the necessity of truth and its determination. This book is an essential resource for those studying philosophy, history, and schools of thought.
