The Nature And Criteria Of Truth

By H. Stanley Redgrove

Book Overview

The Nature and Criteria of Truth, written by H. Stanley Redgrove, is a philosophical exploration of the concept of truth. The book delves into the various definitions of truth and the criteria that are used to determine whether something is true or not. Redgrove examines the different theories of truth that have been proposed throughout history, including correspondence theory, coherence theory, and pragmatic theory. He also explores the relationship between truth and knowledge, and the role that perception, language, and logic play in determining truth. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of truth. Part one explores the nature of truth and the different ways in which it can be understood. Part two examines the criteria that are used to determine whether something is true, including empirical evidence, logical consistency, and coherence with other beliefs. Part three looks at the relationship between truth and knowledge, and the various ways in which knowledge can be acquired. Finally, part four examines the role that language plays in determining truth, and the ways in which language can be used to distort or manipulate the truth. Overall, The Nature and Criteria of Truth provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of one of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of truth and the ways in which we can determine what is true and what is not.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Magic of Experience, by H.
