2. Truth, Part Two. The Plurality of Truth with Crispin Wright Doing Philosophy

    • Philosophy

Is truth plural? And what does it mean to say that truth is plural? In this episode, I interview the inventor of truth pluralism, Crispin Wright. We'll talk about how his views have changed since the publication of his book Truth & Objectivity, back in 1992, and how his methodology compares to pragmatism. By the end of the episode, I will have shared my own take on pluralism, as well as my attempt to synthesize the various theories in the literature: deflationism, pluralism, and the correspondence theory. This episode is loosely based on my paper, "Truth and Its Uses: Deflationism and Alethic Pluralism" (2023). You can check it out here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-023-04362-5
