Theories of Truth provides a clear, critical introduction to one of the most difficult areas of philosophy. It surveys all of the major philosophical theories of truth, presenting the crux of the issues involved at a level accessible to nonexperts yet in a manner sufficiently detailed and original to be of value to professional scholars. Kirkham's systematic treatment and meticulous explanations of terminology ensure that readers will come away from this book with a comprehensive general understanding of one of philosophy's thorniest set of topics.Included are discussions of the correspondence, coherence, pragmatic, semantic, performative, redundancy, appraisal, and truth-as-justification theories. There are also chapters or sections of chapters on the liar paradox, three-valued logic, Field's critique of Tarski, Davidson's program, Dummett's theory of linguistic competence, satisfaction, recursion, the extension/intension distinction, and an explanation of how theories of justification, properly understood, differ from theories of truth.A persistent theme is that philosophers have too often failed to recognize that not all theories of truth are intended to answer the same question. When the various questions are made distinct, it is apparent that many of the "debates" in this field are really cases of philosophers talking past one another. There is much less disagreement within the field than has commonly been thought.Richard L. Kirkham is Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oklahoma.

印象深的是：一二章，不同问题分野的澄清、justification对metaphysical的要求；第五章对塔斯基的解读（其实窝佬在这方面，本来现在也只对他相关感兴趣叻，而且还是书里面所谓比较坚持模型论方向的；第九章讲克里普客对liar paradox的处理亦不错，有空得找他佬原文看看；戴维森的意义理论前半部分还好，后面的包括和达米特的就真的不熟叻；然后最后一章的冗余和紧缩论，感觉在其他相关方面还有可挖的东西（特别比如在内涵逻辑方面（但是最后的MT又是什么鬼？）其他：经典的符合论，对融贯论以及实用主义的批评，具体justification的展开，是一点兴趣都没有。

这本书相当好，特别是Tarski，Davidson and Dummett，说谎者悖论几章。而且开篇就把真理论按照metaphysical，justificational，language meaning project分类，很清楚。不过最大的遗憾是deflationism太略。
