Paul Horwich—TRUTH: Second Edition—VG+ 2005 Trade PB

Description: • For Your Consideration: • A VG+ Trade Paperback copy of: • “TRUTH: SECOND EDITION” (Clarendon Press, Oxford University Price, 2005) (Trade Paperback, Second Edition) • BY PAUL HORWICH • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “What is truth? PAUL HORWICH gives the definitive exposition of a notable philosophical theory, ‘minimalism.’ This is the controversial idea that the nature of truth is entirely captured in the trivial fact that each proposition specifies its own condition for being true, and that truth is therefore, despite the philosophical struggles to which it has given rise, an entirely mundane and unpuzzling concept. HORWICH makes a powerful case for the minimalist view, and gives a careful systematic explanation of its implications for a cluster of important philosophical issues on which questions about truth have impinged…. The first edition of TRUTH…established itself as the best account of minimalism and as an excellent introduction to the debate for students. For this new edition, HORWICH has refined and developed his treatment of the subject in the light of subsequent discussions, while preserving the distinctive format that made the earlier edition so successful.”—THE PUBLISHER • “This is an important book: it is the most sustained defense of a minimalist conception of truth in print…. Its arguments are lucid and of high quality, and it is broad in scope. I recommend it with enthusiasm.”—HENRY FIELD, PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE • “Subtle, penetrating, and ingenious.... Everyone interested in philosophy is in his debt.” —MICHAEL DUMMETT • “Lucid and compact…a forthright presentation of an interesting thesis.”—DONALD DAVIDSON, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY • “This is an excellent book and deserves to be widely read and used as a text. It states its thesis clearly and argues for it briskly: a style that seems well calculated to start discussions.” —AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY • “Clear, informed, and provocative…. I thoroughly recommend the book to everyone in the philosophy of langue, philosophy of science, and metaphysics.” —MICHAEL DEVITT, MIND AND LANGUAGE • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “TRUTH: Second Edition” AUTHOR: PAUL HORWICH TYPE: TRADE PAPERBACK PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Oxford University Press (Great Clarendon Street, Oxford) 2005 FIRST PUBLISHED: 1990 EDITION: Second Edition* *EDITION NOTE: On the Front Cover, the statement: “Second Edition.” NOTE: This copy is NOT an ex-library copy NOR a book-club edition.

We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
