The Nature and Criteria of Truth: A Comparative Analysis of Major Philosophical
Doctrines in the Context of the Twenty-First Century Dr. Subhajit Dutta, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Kumarganj College, West Bengal, India | |
The meaning of truth is very difficult to define. Western philosophy shows how complicated this concept is. Different theories of truth include correspondence, coherence, pragmatism, and semantic theories. Each of these tries to account for the differences in a statement but focuses on different aspects. There are those who care about truth matching reality, and others who care about a system, or pay attention to practical considerations. The article addresses the issues of the twenty-first century, such as mediation, linguistic, and epistemic pluralism, and the current truth crisis. Aside from these issues, the article explains that recent advancements in truth theory do not bypass traditional controversies but rather shift the classical conflicts of realism/anti-realism, objectivity/practice, and explanatory/conceptual economy. Using the method of comparative conceptual analysis, the paper assesses the explanatory power and limitations of each theory under contemporary epistemic conditions. In this respect, the paper shows that different theoretical construals of truth can justify different correctness standards. In the end, only a comparative perspective will demonstrate the dynamics behind the continuity and the innovativeness of the truth theories deployed in contemporary Western philosophy. It argues that the prevailing epistemic complexity cannot be resolved with a single theory, but instead proposes that a more suitable solution is an integrated, context-sensitive theory of truth. | |
