Truth: The Basics is a concise and engaging introduction to philosophical theories about the nature of truth. The two authors—leading philosophers in this field—build the book around a single question: what, if anything, is common to all truths, which makes them true? The book explores five important answers (‘theories’) to the given question: correspondence, semantic, verifiability, transparency, and plurality. For each given theory, the following questions are addressed:

  • What is the theory’s answer to the central question?
  • What is the basic motivation behind that answer?
  • What is a precise argument for that answer?
  • What are the biggest objections to that answer?
  • What are a few good resources for understanding more about the theory?

An additional chapter provides an extensive introduction to the notorious liar paradox.
