Truth and Objectivity

Crispin Wright offers an original perspective on the place of realism in philosophical inquiry, rejecting the classical deflationary conception of truth while allowing both realists and anti-realists to respect the intuition that contested judgments are semantically fitted for truth.

The book critically discusses key issues including deflationary truth, internal realist truth, scientific realism, the theoreticity of observation, and the role of moral states in explaining beliefs.

It provides a resourceful framework that recasts debates over truth and objectivity.
