The correspondence theory of truth is an incredibly popular philosophical theory, yet the pragmatist remains staunchly opposed to it. In this episode, I interview one of the leading contemporary pragmatists, Huw Price, to find out why. We’ll discuss his take on the function of truth, and I’ll argue that truth could only play the role Price thinks it does if it consists in correspondence to the facts. The story of this episode is roughly based on my paper, “The Practical Bearings of Truth as Correspondence” (2023).
