PHI 315 - The Nature and Value of Truth (3)

What is truth? Is truth objective or relative? Is truth valuable, and, if so, in what way is it valuable? Should we always speak and believe the truth? Can we always know what’s true? Does free speech promote truth and knowledge? What is the role of truth in the good life, and the good society? This course examines these key epistemological questions (and more) about the relationships between truth, knowledge, and belief and their social and political importance, and in the process explores central historical and contemporary philosophical works on these topics.
