什么是真理？在语言与世界的联系中，真理扮演了什么角色？真理与存在的关系是什么？《真理的形而上学》解决了这些基本的哲学问题，并发展了一种独特的形而上学世界观。此外，它是在这样一种气候下这样做的：由于通货紧缩和原始主义观点的兴起，真理的本质这一传统核心问题的重要性已经减弱，这些观点否认有关于真理的有趣和有信息的事情可说。这本书回应了这些观点，并证明了真理的形而上学的重要性，关于真理本身的研究，形而上学的辩论更普遍。它还发展了一种详细的多元形而上学方法，它从不同学科领域的多样性出发，认为语言与世界在不同的领域或“领域”之间存在着不同的关系。一个多元主义的方法被构建来解释什么是领域；不同的领域是如何个性化的；哪些形而上学框架适用于不同的领域；以及真相在其中扮演的关键角色。这幅图景被扩展为包含了本体论多元论——存在不同方式的观点——这增加了这一观点的解释力。特别关注的是在关于真理的辩论中尚未得到大量关注的重要领域，即制度和社会领域，它们将关于真理形而上学和存在的工作与社会建设中的关键问题联系起来。
What is truth? What role does truth play in the connections between language and the world? What is the relationship between truth and being? The Metaphysics of Truth tackles these fundamental philosophical questions and develops a distinctive metaphysical worldview. Moreover, it does so in a climate where the traditionally central issue of the nature of truth has diminished in significance due to the rise of deflationary and primitivist views, which deny that there are interesting and informative things to say about truth. This book responds to these views, and demonstrates the importance of the metaphysics of truth with regard to both the study of truth itself, and metaphysical debates more generally. It also develops a detailed pluralist metaphysical approach, which starts with the diversity of different subject areas, and holds that there are different relationships between language and the world in different areas, or ‘domains’. A pluralist approach is constructed that explains what domains are; how different domains are individuated; which metaphysical frameworks apply in different domains; and how truth plays a key role in the picture. The picture is extended to incorporate ontological pluralism—the idea that there are different ways of being—which increases the explanatory power of the view. Particular focus is given to important domains that have not yet received a great deal of attention in debates about truth, namely the institutional and social domains, which connects work on the metaphysics of truth and being to key issues in social construction.
