Philosophical pragmatists are sometimes blamed for providing the theoretical basis for the worrying trend towards 'post-truth' thinking. In this book, Sami Pihlström develops a pragmatist account of truth and truth-seeking based on the ideas of William James which gives space for a sincere search for truth.
