Description
This landmark work of moral philosophy examines why truth matters and what it means to live truthfully in a world increasingly shaped by skepticism, relativism, and distrust. It distinguishes the value of truth itself from the virtues required to pursue and communicate it—most notably accuracy and sincerity—while tracing their historical and ethical development. With characteristic clarity and intellectual depth, the book explores the tensions between truth, interpretation, power, and social life, offering a compelling defense of truthfulness as a foundation of human relationships and public discourse.
