What is Truth Matters : Realism, Anti-realism and Response-dependence about?

<p><i>Truth Matters</i> is the first full-length introduction to response-dependence, a topic that has lately become a main focus of interest for philosophers across a wide range of disciplines and subject areas. The response-dependence claim provides a "third way" between the realist (or objectivist) conception of truth as always potentially transcending the limits of human ascertainment and the anti-realist (or verificationist) case that truth cannot possibly transcend those limits since then we could never acquire or manifest a knowledge of it. Setting out the issues clearly and concisely, Norris also provides relevant background history of the current debate, including a discussion of its sources and analogues in Plato, Locke, Kant, and Wittgenstein.</p>
