Summary: The first full-length introduction to response-dependenceTruth Matters is an invaluable guide for student readers in search of a reliable introduction to response-dependence in epistemology. Setting out the issues clearly and concisely, Norris explains the both sides of the current debate and contextualises it by providing the relevant background history, including discussion of its sources and analogues in Plato, Locke, Kant and Wittgenstein. His book offers invaluable guidance for student readers in search of a reliable introductory survey of the field.Response-dependence claims to provide a 'third way' between the realist (or objectivist) conception of truth as always potentially transcending the limits of human ascertainment and the anti-realist (or verificationist) case that truth cannot possibly transcend those limits since then we could never acquire or manifest a knowledge of it.Key FeaturesClear, accessible account of some complex philosophical issuesFirst book-length study of the response-dependence debateInformative discussion of its pre-history in philosophers from Plato to Hume, Locke and KantCombines wide-ranging coverage with a clear focus and deep philosophical treatment
