Opis

The Taming of the True defends and develops global semantic anti-realism. Neil Tennant argues compellingly that every truth is knowable, and that manifestationism in the theory of meaning entails logical reform. He extends semantic anti-realism to empirical discourse, developing new accounts of the analytic/synthetic distinction, cognitive significance and constructive falsifiability. The book has important consequences for the philosophy of mathematics and logic, the theory of meaning, metaphysics, and epistemology.

Recenzje

a new major and systematic monograph on the realism debate, written by a very skillful and sophisticated defender of anti-realism ... very lucidly written, and the main arguments are well signposted, presented, and summarized ... a very advanced work.
