Russell on Truth
In Fraser MacBride, Graham Stevens & Samuel Lebens (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Bertrand Russell. Oxford: Oxford (forthcoming)
Abstract
This paper presents a history of Bertrand Russell's evolving views on the nature of truth. It begins with his brief defense of a primitivist view of truth, followed by his critical accounts of both the coherence and pragmatic theories of truth. Then the paper discusses Russell's shift to the correspondence theory, and the variations of it he defended throughout his career.Author's Profile
