Preface -- Introduction: Truth in Trouble -- The Linguistic Conception of Truth -- The Functions Truth Serves -- Truth in Action -- Acting Truly -- The Genesis of Representations -- Acts of Assertion -- The Truth of Statements -- The Challenge of Sceptical Relativism -- Truth as Faithfulness -- Bibliography -- Index.

Richard Campbell addresses the contemporary disillusion with truth. He presents a novel conception of truth, by showing how the possibility of error is implicated in the actions of all living things and by analyzing uses of 'true'�such as true friends, true love, and being true to something or someone which have been ignored by philosophers. � This new proposal contrasts starkly with all previous analytic theories, which uncritically assume that truth pertains exclusively to the correctness of what is said. According to this action-based conception, that is a derivative sense. In developing this argument, it proposes a definition of life, arguing that even simple life-forms perform minimal actions, and explores the emergence of representations in their actions. Thereby this conception of truth restores its normative force in a way compatible with the modern awareness of our historical and cultural relativity. It finishes with a critique of sceptical relativism, and shows how truth is rightly regarded as a value.

520 $a "This book addresses the contemporary disillusion with truth, manifest in sceptical relativism. Contending that all contemporary theories of truth are too narrow, it argues for a novel conception of truth, by showing how error is implicated in the actions of all living things; and by analyzing uses of 'true' in non-linguistic contexts"-- $c Provided by publisher.
