Editorial Reviews

Review
"The Correspondence Theory of Truth is a welcome addition to the literature on truth ... Newman has done a thorough job of providing us with such an account. His book should be at the forefront of the debate about the nature of truth for a long time to come." Philosophy in Review

Product Description
This work presents a version of the correspondence theory of truth based on Wittgenstein's Tractatus and Russell's theory of truth and discusses related metaphysical issues such as predication, facts, and propositions. Like Russell and one prominent interpretation of the Tractatus, it assumes a realist view of universals and argues that facts as real entities are not needed. It will intrigue teachers and advanced students of philosophy interested in the conception of truth and in the metaphysics related to the correspondence theory of truth.
