Truth, Politics, Morality Summary
| Cheryl Misak argues that truth ought to be reinstated to a central position in moral and political philosophy. It is a fascinating and fresh discussion of political theory and philosophy. |

|
| <P>Can we criticize those who hold beliefs which are likely to be wrong? Or must we abandon notions of truth and objectivity and claim that certain beliefs are best for us while incompatible beliefs are best for others? <i>Truth, Politics, Morality</i> addresses this crucial issue and its implications for democracy by arguing that the notion of truth ought to be returned to the center of moral and political philosophy. Cheryl Misak persuasively makes a case for a certain kind of pragmatism in which a true belief is one that could not be improved by inquiry, nor defeated by experience or argument. Her compelling discussion makes sense of the idea that, despite conflict, pluralism, and the expression of difference, our moral and political beliefs aim at truth and can be subject to justified criticism.</P> |
