Richard Rorty versus Bertrand Russell on the correspondence theory of truth
...
We should
momentarily frame their positions:
Bertrand Russell:
Russell was a proponent of the correspondence theory of truth
...
In other words, truth involves correspondence among
propositions and how the world is
...
He accepted that there is a domain of genuine realities, and the objective of
information is to depict and correspond to these realities precisely
...
He was condemning of the correspondence theory of truth
...
All things being equal, he upheld for a more even minded and contextual understanding of truth
...
In his view, truth is
definitely not a fixed and objective reality ready to be found, yet rather a result of our common
phonetic and social arrangements
...
Evaluation:
The appraisal of who makes the "best" contention relies upon one's philosophical position
...
Nonetheless, in the event that one
is sympathetic to a more enemy of pragmatist or practical person view, Richard Rorty's position
should have been visible as really convincing
...
The decision among Russell and Rorty may eventually rely upon one's more
extensive philosophical responsibilities and inclinations
