Is a true account one that corresponds to things the way they are? Or is it one that fits optimally with other accounts we accept? Or is it one that successfully guides us in our actions within the world? Positive answers to these questions point, respectively, towards correspondence, coherence, and pragmatist theories of truth, all of which continue to have their champions. Within the broader context of Euro-American philosophy through the twentieth century and up to the present, they are joined by phenomenological, postmodernist, semantic, deflationary, prosentential, and pluralistic approaches to the problem of truth (all of which are interesting and important, although more difficult than the first three to get at by means of a single question). In this tutorial, we will investigate this terrain. The first ten tutorial meetings of the semester will consider defenses of and objections to each of these approaches. In the final two meetings, tutorial partners will take turns presenting the positions they deem best. Format: tutorial. Requirements: students meet with the instructor in pairs for roughly an hour each week; students will write essays every other week (6 in all), and comment on their partners' papers in alternate weeks. Emphasis will be placed on developing skills in reading, interpretation, and oral argument, as well as critical reasoning and writing. Prerequisites: Philosophy 101 or 102 or permission of instructor. Enrollment limit: 10 (expected: 10).
