Rezensionen

"Overall, this is an excellent book. It is an overview of the main issues and theories surrounding the nature of truth. It is thus a good introduction to the metaphysics of truth. It is exceptionally clear and does a very impressive job in surveying a great deal of material in an accessible way. It can be read by people with little or no background, and it will get them up to speed on a central topic, very quickly." -Michael Glanzberg, Rutgers University
