What Is Truth? (1905)

By Isaac Gregory Smith

Book Overview

What Is Truth? is a philosophical treatise written by L. B. in 1905. The book explores the nature of truth and its relationship to knowledge and belief. The author begins by examining various definitions of truth and their shortcomings, arguing that truth cannot be reduced to a simple correspondence between a statement and reality. Instead, the author proposes a more nuanced understanding of truth that takes into account the role of context, perspective, and interpretation. The book also delves into the epistemological implications of this view of truth, exploring questions such as how we can know what is true and how we can distinguish between truth and falsehood. Throughout the book, the author draws on a range of philosophical traditions and engages with the ideas of thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Kant. Overall, What Is Truth? is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
