Why truth is important in our everyday lives.

What is truth? Michael Lynch defends a bold new answer to this question. Traditional theories hold that all truths are true in the same way. More recent theories claim that the concept of truth is of no real importance. Lynch argues against both these extremes: truth is a functional property whose function can be performed in more than one way.

Michael Lynch argues that there is a path where metaphysical pluralism is consistent with a robust realism about truth.
