Truth and realism

Truth and realism / edited by Patrick Greenough, Michael P. Lynch.

Is truth objective or relative? What exists independently of our minds? The essays in this book debate these two questions, which are among the oldest of philosophical issues and have vexed almost every major philosopher, from Plato, to Kant, to Wittgenstein.
