What is truth? What role does truth play in the connections between language and the world? What is the relationship between truth and being? Douglas Edwards tackles these questions and develops a distinctive metaphysical worldview. He argues that in some domains language responds to the world, whereas in others language generates the world. Edwards's writing is admirably clear and plain ... Edwards's presentation is thoroughly embedded in the contemporary discussion among analytic philosophers on the topic of truth, and the book will be important and valuable to that audience.
