Soames illuminates the notion of truth and the role it plays in ordinary thought and scientific theories. The questions investigated include: "Why do we need a truth predicate at all?", "What theoretical tasks does it allow us to accomplish?" and "How must we understand the content of any predicate capable of accomplishing these tasks?"
