The True and the Good

A Strong Virtue Theory of the Value of Truth

Beschreibung

The problem of truth's value is the problem of reconciling a good theory of what truth is with a good theory of why it is valuable. This is the first monograph focused on solving it for theories that construe truth in a purely descriptive way. Chase B. Wrenn proposes a virtue-theoretic understanding of truth's value.
