From Truth to Reality: New Essays in Logic and Metaphysics by Heather Dyke
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.4 Mb
Overview: Questions about truth and questions about reality are intimately connected. One can ask whether numbers exist by asking “Are there numbers?” But one can also ask what arguably amounts to the same question by asking “Is the sentence ‘There are numbers’ true?” Such semantic ascent implies that reality can be investigated by investigating our true sentences. This line of thought was dominant in twentieth century philosophy, but is now beginning to be called into question.
In From Truth to Reality, Heather Dyke brings together some of the foremost metaphysicians to examine approaches to truth, reality, and the connections between the two. This collection features new and previously unpublished material by JC Beall, Mark Colyvan, Michael Devitt, John Heil, Frank Jackson, Fred Kroon, D. H. Mellor, Luca Moretti, Alan Musgrave, Robert Nola, J. J. C. Smart, Paul Snowdon, and Daniel Stoljar.
