"We cannot fail to appreciate the care with which the author approaches his subject, the tremendous amount of scholarship which has gone into his work and the fact that the discussion never shies away from modern theories. Overall, this is a valuable addition to Aristotelian scholarship, and it is bound to become an extremely useful tool for those working on the issues with which it deals."
-Christos Y. Panayides, The University of Nicosia, Ancient Philosophy
Aristotle's theory of truth spans several areas of philosophy: philosophy of language, logic, ontology, and epistemology. In this book, the first dedicated to this topic, Paolo Crivelli discusses all the main aspects of Aristotle's views on truth and falsehood. He analyses in detail the main relevant passages, addresses some well-known problems of Aristotelian semantics, and assesses Aristotle's theory from the point of view of modern analytic philosophy. His book will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in both ancient philosophy and modern philosophy of language.
