This important book is about truth and its enemies, as well as the wars that are waged between them. As Simon Blackburn states in his introduction, "the terrain is complex, filled with abandoned fortresses and trenches, fought over by shifting alliances." Truth is an essential, steady guide through this territory, from classical times to the modern era. It examines relativism and nihilism, tolerance and faith, objectivity and knowledge, science and pseudoscience, as well as the moral and political implications, and the nuances of all of these.
