Abstract

In the previous two chapters we discussed the possibilities and limitations of approaches to capturing necessary truth. Are there some analogous ways of capturing truth simpliciter? After all, necessary truth seems to be a subspecies, a special case of truth — is not every account for necessary truth thus a special case of a general theory, which would yield truth simpliciter as another special case?
