内容简介：In this lecture I delineate a new, substantivist theory of truth. The theory sets forth three basic principles of truth: the “fundamental principle of truth”, the “manifold correspondence principle”, and the “logicality principle”. The lecture will focus on the application of the new theory to mathematics. I will offer a new account of mathematical truth as exhibiting a “composite” type of correspondence, explain its roots in Aristotle’s conception of mathematics, and show how it enables us to overcome well-known problems concerning correspondence and realism in mathematics, including Benacerraf’s Identity Problem and Cognitive Access Problem.
