About this product
Product Information
Michael Dummett's three John Dewey Lectures--"The Concept of Truth," "Statements About the Past," and "The Metaphysics of Time"--were delivered at Columbia University in the spring of 2002. Revised and expanded, the lectures are presented here along with two new essays by Dummett, "Truth: Deniers and Defenders" and "The Indispensability of the Concept of Truth." In Truth and the Past, Dummett clarifies his current positions on the metaphysical issue of realism and the philosophy of language. He is best known as a proponent of antirealism, which loosely characterizes truth as what we are capable of knowing. The events of the past and statements about them are critical tests of an antirealist position. These essays continue and significantly contribute to Dummett's work.

Reviews
The best of all possible experiences, if you are interested in philosophy at all, would have been to hear Michael Dummett himself deliver these lectures. If, like myself, you missed that experience, the very next best is to read this volume. This is the work of a great philosopher at the peak of his form., Since Dummett's lectures presented his most recent thinking about truth and the metaphysics of time, the publication of this book is a welcome event...recommended., "The best of all possible experiences, if you are interested in philosophy at all, would have been to hear Michael Dummett himself deliver these lectures. If, like myself, you missed that experience, the very next best is to read this volume. This is the work of a great philosopher at the peak of his form." -- Hilary Putnam
