Title: Tedious and Technical, but a Worthwhile Purchase
Review: I've only read about the first 2 chapters of the of the 10-chapter book, "Theories of Truth"; however, I've found Kirkham's treatment of the subject of truth to be quite technical, a bit tedious, and more detailed than my preferences would require. Yet, Kirkham does a fine job of juxtaposing different theories and different approaches to the study of truth as a highly worthwhile subject.I expect the remainder of the book to involve some highly analytical and technical expositions, but I tend to agree with what I've thus far garnered of the author's views on important philosophical issues surrounding truth as a study. Thus, I will give the book 4 stars, and I refrain from the maximum of 5 stars simply because it's a more tedious analysis of truth than the generalist approach that I would most strongly favor.
