Simon Blackburn

This important book is about truth, and the enemies of truth, and the wars that are fought between them. As Simon Blackburn says in his introduction, &quot;the ground is complicated, strewn with abandoned fortresses and trenches, fought over by shifting alliances&quot;.  <I>Truth </I>is an essential sure-footed guide through the territory, from classical to modern times. It looks at relativism and absolutism, toleration and belief, objectivity and knowledge, science and pseudo-science, and the moral and political implications, as well as the nuances, of all these.
