{ "item_title" : "Truth", "item_author" : [" Haig Khatchadourian "], "item_description" : "Truth: Its criteria and conditions is an in-depth critical-and-constructive inquiry in almost equal measure. The theories of the nature of empirical truth critically considered include two forms of the traditional correspondence theory; truth as appraisal; truth as identity of proposition and truth; en emotive theory of truth; P.F. Strawson's performative theory, and N. Rescher's novel theory of a coherentist criterion of truth. The constructive parts include an analysis of the concept of a fact, the meaning and uses of 'true' and 'false' in empirical statements, together with the various sorts of conditions for their correct application; the appraisive/evaluative uses of true and false statements; and the performative-cum-cognitive uses of 'true' empirical statements; and the conditions of the performative uses of 'true.' A significant claim about the concept of truth is its indefinablity; albeit for quite different reasons from Gottlob Frege's reason based on his argument against the correspondence theory of truth.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/3/11/032/509/3110325098_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "148.99", "online_price" : "148.99", "our_price" : "148.99", "club_price" : "148.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
