Rethinking Truth
P HIGGS & J SMITH
What is truth? Can it be discovered objectively as science claims? Or is truth a created, highly contested and changing entity, lasting but a moment? Is there more than one truth? Do we pursue truth or does it pursue us?
In Rethinking Truth the authors reflect on these questions in exploring critically the claims concerning truth, and explore a range of philosophies including Logical Empiricism, Empiricism, Critical Rationalism, Critical Theory, Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, African Philosophy, Existentialism, Feminism, Systems Theory, and Postmodernism.
In this accessible and interactive text, readers are asked to reflect critically on what truth means to them.
SUITABLE FOR
Postgraduate students in the human and social sciences, as well as to a more general readership seeking an understanding of the arguments in the major philosophies.
