The goal of philosophers is truth, but for a century or more they have been bothered by Nietzsche’s question, “What is the good of truth?†Barry Allen shows what truth has come to mean in the philosophical tradition, what is wrong with many conceptions of truth, and why philosophers refuse to confront squarely the question of the value of truth.
