| Oct 30, 2020 at 1:59 | comment | added | gonzo | A book that provides a comprehensive history of how traditional and analytic philosophy of science and positivism evolved/devolved into relativism/post positivism/post empiricism/post analytic philosophy (and why) is John Zammito’s A Nice Derangement of Epistemes: Post-Positivism in the Study of Science from Quine to Latour. (amazon.com/Nice-Derangement-Epistemes-Post-positivism-Science/…). (Aside from the contributions of pragmatism and Wittgenstein to the realism/antirealism debate, its pretty much all there.) Contains a very good index/bibliography as well. | |

Naively empiricists would favor correspondence: observations accurately reflect actuality. In formal logic with its limited and deductively sound domain it is coherence. And consensus theory of truth was invented by sociologists. See a sort of summary here: philosophy.stackexchange.com/q/59490/33787 | |
| May 10, 2019 at 8:07 | comment | added | Conifold | Would you accept a bit more subdivisions? Relativism about truth has a pretty wide currency, the opposite is variously called absolutism, objectivism, realism, or Wikipedia's "universalism", depending on context. But you'll find few who are realists about every kind of "truth", the word is a loose catchall papering over very different things, arguments vary accordingly. There are many realists about the material world (even that depends on which aspects of it count), fewer about ethics or mathematics, fewer still about aesthetics. Radical skepticism and cultural relativism are the extremes. | |
