Truth And The End Of Inquiry by Cheryl Misak
A Peircean Account of Truth
A careful defense of a Peircean, pragmatist account of truth that identifies truth with the outcome toward which genuine inquiry is aimed: what would be accepted at the end of an idealized, unconstrained inquiry. The book rejects both crude “what works” pragmatism and purely deflationary or mysterious metaphysical accounts, arguing instead that treating truth as the norm governing successful inquiry preserves a robust realism, defuses skeptical challenges, and illuminates the epistemic roles of justification, disagreement, and scientific practice.
