Mosteller's book is a terrific introduction to the complex metaphysical controversies involved in getting clear about the nature of truth. It manages to combine accessibility with philosophical sophistication. The reader not only gets a thorough introduction to the history of philosophical thought about how to understand truth, but also a vigorous defense of a version of a hard-core realism in the form of a theory of truth as correspondence. -- Richard Fumerton, Professor of Philosophy, University of Iowa, USA Combining an overriding interest in the truth with a fair and precise historical overview, Mosteller draws much from Husserl and phenomenology as well as from analytic and classical philosophers. Highly recommended to every undergraduate student of philosophy, to every historian of philosophy, and to everyone who wishes to form a well-founded philosophical conviction about truth - and above all and more than that: to everyone who desires to know the truth about truth. -- Josef Seifert, Professor of Philosophy at the International Academy of Philosophy-Instituto de Filosofia Edith Stein, Granada, Spain
