William James 
The Meaning of Truth 

’The Meaning of Truth’ is a philosophical work written by William James, a renowned American philosopher and psychologist. Published in 1909, the book explores the nature of truth and presents various perspectives on the topic.
James delves into the pragmatic theory of truth, which emphasises the practical consequences and usefulness of beliefs rather than their correspondence to objective reality. He argues that truth should be evaluated based on its experiential and practical implications, highlighting the significance of personal experience and subjective perspectives.
Throughout the book, James engages in a critical analysis of different philosophical theories of truth, including correspondence theories and coherence theories. He explores the limitations of these theories and presents his own perspective on truth as a dynamic and evolving concept.
’The Meaning of Truth’ offers readers an intellectual journey through the intricacies of truth, knowledge, and reality. James’ writing style is accessible and engaging, making complex philosophical concepts more understandable for a wider audience.
