Abstract

This essay is an inquiry into the philosophical concern with truth in view of its three major distinct but related dimensions and their relations: i.e., the metaphysical dimension concerning the nature of (non-linguistic) truth, the explanatory-role dimension concerning the explanatory role of the notion of truth, and the linguistic dimension concerning the linguistic functions of the truth predicate. I intend to suggest an account of truth, substantive perspectivism, which attempts to capture our basic pre-theoretic understanding of non-linguistic truth and provides an explanation of the nature of truth, the linguistic functions of the truth predicate, the explanatory role of the concept of truth, and how they are related.
