The articles collected here illustrate the most important moves in thinking about truth and its value over the past couple of centuries. * Chase B. Wrenn, Professor, University of Alabama, USA * The philosophy of truth has become a very complex field of inquiry, especially at a time when disrespect for truth is common. This well-devised anthology brings together both classical sources and more recent work. It gives an excellent image of the present debates, and guidelines to further inquiry. * Pascal Engel Directeur d'etudes, Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales, Paris, France *
