From Truth to Reality

<p>Questions about truth and questions about reality are intimately connected. One can ask whether numbers exist by asking Are there numbers? But one can also ask what arguably amounts to the same question by asking Is the sentence 'There are numbers' true? Such semantic ascent implies that reality can be investigated by investigating our true sentences. This line of thought was dominant in twentieth century philosophy but is now beginning to be called into question.</p><p>In<em> From Truth to Reality</em> Heather Dyke brings together some of the foremost metaphysicians to examine approaches to truth reality and the connections between the two.
