PHIL 80.24 The Real, the True, and the Vaguely
What is truth? What conception of reality does truth involve? Should we think of truth or reality as transcending the limits of our evidence? Should we conceive of them as always tied to a perspective? Is truth an all-or-nothing matter, or might there be borderline cases? Could there be no definite fact of the matter about the way the world is? We’ll address such questions using historical and contemporary sources.
