Download or read book Truth and Ontology written by Trenton Merricks and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central question in philosophy is whether and how truth depends on the world. In isolation this question is so abstract that it is hard to address in an illuminating way. Instead, Trenton Merricks looks at how answers to this question bear on a variety of other philosophical debates. The result is a well-grounded discussion of the nature of truth that in its turn casts new light on these philosophical debates themselves.
