Abstract

It is never easy to liberate thinking from the mind-closing assumptions of prevailing orthodoxies. Yet thinking expands when radical alternatives are explored. That is why it is salutary to be reminded that the linguistic conception of truth is relatively recent, and to explore other significant uses of "true" which that conception fails to acknowledge.
