Explaining the Value of Truth
American Philosophical Quarterly 46 (2):105-115 (2009)
| Abstract | Truth is a value in that sense that a belief is good (or successful, or correct) just in case it is true. But it does not follow that truth is a good-making property, nor does it follow that the nature of truth explains its value. Instead, this paper argues that the nature of belief explains its value. | |||||||||
