Such an approach is in some ways unprecedented, at least to the degree that it makes no attempt to separate between these discourses, nor to build one upon the other. In a manner that some readers may find disconcerting, it interweaves metaphysical discussions with others relating to the history of Christian revelation and revelatory practice"--

Reviews'This is emphatically an important book - one of the most innovative and wide-ranging essays in philosophical theology to appear in recent years - from a scholar quite capable of tackling the most sophisticated minds of secular academic philosophy on their own ground, and showing that theology has a serious contribution to make to our thinking about thinking. This seriously original work - which addresses the fundamental question of what we think we are doing/claiming when we say we are speaking truthfully - has the capacity to make a major difference in its field.' Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge; formerly Archbishop of Canterbury

SynopsisThis bold new work offers a discussion of the topic of truth from simultaneously philosophical and theological perspectives. It argues for the value of a metaphysical approach to truth. This approach defends the notion that truth cannot be separated from what the author calls 'the reality of the thinking soul'., What is 'truth'? The question that Pilate put to Jesus was laced with dramatic irony. But at a time when what is true and what is untrue have acquired a new currency, the question remains of crucial significance. Is truth a matter of the representation of things which lack truth in themselves? Or of mere coherence? Or is truth a convenient if redundant way of indicating how one's language refers to things outside oneself? In her ambitious new book, Catherine Pickstock addresses these profound questions, arguing that epistemological approaches to truth either fail argumentatively or else offer only vacuity. She advances instead a bold metaphysical and realist appraisal which overcomes the Kantian impasse of 'subjective knowing' and ban on reaching beyond supposedly finite limits. Her book contends that in the end truth cannot be separated from the transcendent reality of the thinking soul.
