About This Item
Penguin, 2006 8vo (19.5 cm), XXI, 238 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This important book is about truth, and the enemies of truth, and the wars that are fought between them. As Simon Blackburn says in his introduction, "the ground is complicated, strewn with abandoned fortresses and trenches, fought over by shifting alliances". Truth is an essential sure-footed guide through the territory, from classical to modern times. It looks at relativism and absolutism, toleration and belief, objectivity and knowledge, science and pseudo-science, and the moral and political implications, as well as the nuances, of all these." (from the blurb)
Synopsis
The cover was designed by Mary Belibasakis, using an illustration by Mieczyslaw Gorowski.
