True to Life
Why Truth Matters
Michael P. Lynch

Reviews

"True to Life is a passionate demonstration that truth matters; it is strikingly clear and painstakingly reasoned, and ranges from technical work in the philosophy of logic to a discussion of the role of truth-telling in government."
Anthony Gottlieb, The New York Times Book Review

"This is an important and timely volume, and philosophy owes Lynch a considerable debt."
Duncan Pritchard, The Philosophers' Magazine

"True to Life is a bracing antidote to the disease of postmodern cynicism that renders truth impossible and leaves us with nothing but wind-blown opinion."
Douglas Groothuis, The Denver Post

"True to Life...asserts some simple truths about truth; for example, that it's good, [and] that it's worthy of pursuit..."
Richard Halicks, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"An engagingly written, carefully reasoned defence of 'objective truth' as a respectable, even desirable goal and standard."
Barry Allen, The Globe and Mail
