Replacing Truth

Zusatztext rich and rewarding . . . I find the book very productive to engage with; its vision, clarity of purpose, and creativity all come in large measures. . . . Scharp's voice is indispensable in this conversation. Informationen zum Autor Kevin Scharp received his PhD in philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh in 2005 and is now an Associate Professor of Philosophy at The Ohio State University. He works on philosophical logic, philosophy of language, and the history of analytic philosophy, and he is the editor of a collection of Wilfrid Sellars' essays. Klappentext Kevin Scharp proposes an original account of the nature and logic of truth, on which truth is an inconsistent concept that should be replaced for certain theoretical purposes. He argues that truth is best understood as an inconsistent concept; develops an axiomatic theory of truth; and offers a new kind of possible-worlds semantics for this theory.
