True to Life: Why Truth Matters
Cambridge: MIT Press (2004)

In this engaging and spirited text, Michael Lynch argues that truth does matter, in both our personal and political lives. He explains that the growing cynicism over truth stems in large part from our confusion over what truth is.Author's Profile
